Recommendation 19

19 Paragraph: 111

Introduce UK green taxonomy with spectrum of definitions, monitor progress, and ensure mandatory status.

Recommendation
We recommend that the Government seek to introduce the UK green taxonomy as soon as possible. That taxonomy should include a spectrum of definitions—‘fifty shades of green’, as one of our witnesses put it. During the period of voluntary reporting against the green taxonomy, the Government should monitor and report quarterly on progress, to optimise its implementation and ensure that it becomes mandatory no less than two years after the beginning of the voluntary period.
