Committee on Budgetary Oversight

The Cost of Climate Action: Discussion

Dr. Ivana Capozza:

I agree with Mr. McCabe that it is important. There is a bit of risk.

How is green carbon investment categorised so that it is not just green-washing and using the opportunity with the fiscal rules to bring in something which is not at all green? There is a need for rigour with this. It is good but difficult to implement, so in principle, I agree.
