Podcast EU to go - EU-Taxonomy - Green light for nuclear power and gas?

Sebastian Mack and Thu Nguyen discuss the EU Commission's proposal to classify gas and nuclear power as climate-friendly.

According to the EU Commission, nuclear power and gas should be classified as sustainable - that's what the Commission's draft for the EU taxonomy states. Green light, then, for nuclear and gas? At first this sounds paradoxical and divides the opinion of the member states. Do nuclear power and gas need a "green" label to make the EU climate neutral by 2050? Thu Nguyen and Sebastian Mack talk about what exactly the green taxonomy is, whether nuclear power and gas will soon be considered sustainable and what consequences this could have.
