This document forms part of Sustainable Finance Observatory’s (formerly 2DII) response to the European Commission’s consultation on the draft delegated regulation for minimum climate benchmark standards.

- An independent process for evaluating the effects of policy to date
- More rigorous safeguards for managing conflicts of interest
- Broader consideration of citizens’ wants and needs
- An agenda based on existing scientific evidence on ways to reduce emissions and improve the sustainability of the EU economy
