Breaking: the European Commission just included #biodiversity #offsetting in its #taxonomy of "green" economic activity, and obfuscated this inclusion into yesterday's delegated act behind anti-democratic confusing legalese. 1/6

An earlier draft of the delegated act included the following language: « 6.1. The conservation activity does not only serve the purpose of offsetting the impact of another economic activity.”
This was already some very twisted language to say offsetting is included. 2/6
This was already some very twisted language to say offsetting is included. 2/6
...But not sufficient, as a few of us called them on it. So instead of removing the allowance for offsetting, they merely reworded it to try and convince civil society that the issue was gone. 3/6
1/14 BREAKING -The European Commission just published a draft #taxonomy's delegated act for biodiversity - i.e. its list of the economic activities that fight biodiversity loss in the EU - that includes debunked #biodiversity #offsetting
2/14 The list includes so far 2 activities, with more to come in the future:
1. Conservation and restoration of habitats, ecosystems and species;
2. The provision of short-term tourism accommodation
1. Conservation and restoration of habitats, ecosystems and species;
2. The provision of short-term tourism accommodation
3/14 We first note that the conservation & restoration activity does not prioritize curbing destruction over restoration, thereby implicitly favouring the latter, despite its uncertain & delayed results and weak track record
Was steckt hinter dem Zaubertrick der Kommission beim #VerbrennerAus, das @Wissing dazu gebracht, seinen verantwortungslosen Widerstand einzustellen? Schnell gesagt: nicht viel. Ein kurzer Thread:
1/ Bereits in dem Gesetzgebungstext zum #VerbrennerAus, wie ihn das Parlament angenommen hat (europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…), steht drin, was Wissing jetzt bekommen hat: der rechtlich unverbindliche Erwägungsgrund 11 wird in eine rechtlich unverbindliche Erklärung übertragen.
2/ Umgesetzt werden soll das durch einen "delegierten Rechtsakt" in der Verordnung über die Typgenehmigung von Kraftfahrzeugen (Euro 5 und Euro 6): eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…

📣 I am elated to announce this publication! The #RHIBSTaxonomy paper has now been published! After so many years in the making, it’s so good to finally see the #RHIBSTaxonomy published and available for public use #taxonomy #TBM #religion #spirituality #healthcare #interventions
The #RHIBSTaxonomy is the first multidisciplinary, global shared language within religion, spirituality, and health, ushering in a new era for religious interventions to be precisely defined, developed, and tested; shaping the evidence-base for future healthcare research/practice
To develop the taxonomy; We answered the following questions: “Can religious practices within health interventions be scientifically classified? Can the classification gain international, cross-disciplinary agreement? Can the classification be reliably and easily used?
Let's talk about the EU Sustainable Finance #Taxonomy, what it is, why it's needed and why #nuclear energy must be included if Europe is to meet its climate goals.

The @EU_Commission states that the #taxonomy is necessary, "In order to meet the EU’s climate and energy targets for 2030 and reach the objectives of the European green deal"

They also state that the "#taxonomy is a classification system, establishing a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities. It could play an important role helping the EU scale up sustainable investment and implement the European green deal."

🇪🇺Parliament just rejected the #taxonomy list of investments considered green, which controversially included both #nuclear & #gas as a result of a delicately crafted compromise between national governments
76 members of ECON & ENVI committees voted to reject, 62 voted to accept

"Russia's invasion changed the thinking on this " one EP source tells me.
Here's the background of how we ended up with this 🇪🇺 proposal to deem nuclear & gas as green.
TLDR: it was a political compromise between anti-nuclear🇩🇪 & anti-gas 🇫🇷.

The taxonomy list proposal was made before the #UkraineWar.
The thinking is it probably would have gotten through the parliament were it not for Russia's invasion. But the idea of including gas as a 'transition fuel' eligible for green funds is now unpalatable.

It deals with specific #machinelearning problem, namely how to classify a given website into specific categories, also called #taxonomy.
the most common #taxonomies are those of IAB and Google Products Taxonomy. But there others, e.g. one from Facebook for products.
An article about new #website #categorization service using #nlp approach and machine learning model:
alpha-quantum.com/blog/website-c…
alpha-quantum.com/blog/website-c…
It offers both google products #taxonomy which is ideal for #ecommerce sector as well as the IAB taxonomy which is more commonly used for general website categorizations, e.g. for marketing.
Why need for categorizations in marketing? If an advertiser wants to publish ads on publishers websites, generally it wants to know in what kind of category are the publishers websites.
New Saas product for #ai #product #categorization based on #nlp analysis:
productcategorization.com/demo_dashboard/
productcategorization.com/demo_dashboard/
the service is using ML model trained on large number of annotated product texts. google product taxonomy was taken as the base taxonomy, which was then customised.
the #platform can be used both as dashboard or as #API #json endpoint. here is the url for IAB classification that you can try out: productcategorization.com/demo_dashboard…

First, #EnergySufficiency measures (in plain English: stop wasting energy) are by far the best. Quick to implement. Efficient. Cost-effective. They should become a national security priority and give ideas for people to tangibly #StandWithUkraine in those dark days.
Second, #EnergyEfficiency targeting oil/gas heating buildings is a must. It however takes time to be rolled-out to significantly impact our dependence. All the more reason to start now!
🔴 Germany publishes the comments sent to the EU Commission on nuclear and gas in the #taxonomy 🔴
« If the delegated act remains unchanged and the Commission ignores the opinions of the Member States, including our own, Germany should reject it »

« From the federal government's perspective, nuclear power is not sustainable. That is why we refuse to include it in the delegated act under the taxonomy regulation. »
« Serious accidents involving large-scale, transboundary and long-term damage to humans-being and the environment cannot be excluded. »
The @EU_Commission's proposal to label gas & nuclear as green has pushed it further down the rabbit hole. It looks increasingly to escape this mess, but there are still some options to save the #taxonomy's integrity! see @e3g's latest briefing here 👇 🧵
Just a reminder, investor group @IIGCCnews & CSOs like @WWFEU or @GreenpeaceEU have rejected the proposal for #gas & #nuclear. the Platform on Sustainable Finance is likely to voice harsh criticism as well. @AndreasHoepner summarizes the problems perfectly environmental-finance.com/content/analys…
Meanwhile, @EUparliament positions itself in the #taxonomy fight, critizising lack of public consultation for the second delegated act, while the first, less controversial DA was subject to public scrutiny ( which confirmed that wind energy is 🟩).
Včerejší rozhovor CEO @SkupinaCEZ k nové bruselské #taxonomy a tendru na #JEDU je věcný. Dává ale hodně důvodů se zastavit u info, které byly předloženy. Headline neodpovídá.

1/ zlehčování až hra s "dočasností" taxonomy pro jádro resp. označení jádra jako "udržitelného". Princip spočívá právě v dočasnosti! Taxonomy je "těžce" dojednaný kompromis jednání GER a FRA (bez ČR) a o tvrdě podmíněné dočasnosti není pochyb např. hlubinné úložiště ve 2050
2/ zlehčování podmínek "dočasnosti" taxonomy naopak správné zdůraznění podmínky notifikace (schválení) jakékoli investice do jádra. Tak či onak
=záměrné zanedbání rizik pro jádro (včetně úložiště) ... paradoxně u plynu CEO #ČEZ rizika vidí, kvantifikuje a správně je zdůrazňuje!

Happy new year from Planet Brussels where this has just landed in some people's inboxes 🎁 #taxonomy
A 60-page draft #taxonomy text landed in inboxes of member states minutes before 2022 struck. A "consultation" process - which does not involve MEPs - will run until mid Jan. Some highlights on what's included 👇
Commission stresses that on nuclear energy and fossil gas there are "rapid technological" developments occuring.

A first point is just how pervasive Europe is. “EU” or “europ” is mentioned no less than 393 times! Scarcely a policy area that does not somehow involve Europe. 🇪🇺 is domestic politics. It is also a testament, tho, to an (ex ante) willingness by 🚦to engage w/ EU partners. 👏

The European citizens and its institutions should feel a little uneasy since, in the words of @bpolitics, a Trump-inspired Twitter troll gets to set (although in a very limited sense) the EU agenda.

The Slovenian government has followed Poland and Hungary down to the authoritarian path with "war on media", unlawfully canceling the nominations of EPPO delegated prosecutors, therefore inadmissibly undermining the independence of the judiciary.
