Триває збір підписів під петицією про непідтримку визнання «екологічності» природного газу у ЄС

The non-governmental organization "Razom We Stand" calls for signing a petition to prevent natural gas from being recognized as an "environmental" fuel in the EU. If the members of the European Parliament vote in support of this decision on July 7, then natural gas will be included in the EU investment taxonomy.


This means that investments in natural gas may increase and, accordingly, unwanted financing of the aggressor country may increase. If the taxonomy passes, it will increase Europe's dependence on gas, in particular Russian gas, which is a source of funds for weapons that will be used against Ukrainians.


In addition, according to Razom We Stand, the taxonomy will harm our chances of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees, which was the goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement. Natural gas, like other fossil fuels, is not environmentally friendly at all and, therefore, should not be qualified as such.
