The centrepiece of the EU’s ambitions to become carbon-neutral by 2050 is the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities. However, policymakers have already started work on another project; drafting a Social Taxonomy.

Understand the purpose of the proposed Social Taxonomy
Outline how it is similar and differs from the Sustainable Taxonomy
