The EU-planned support to the policies set out in the Green Deal is to be carried out through an investment plan called InvestEU. In order for InvestEU to be adequately implemented, the European Commission has developed a guidance on sustainability-proofing to ensure that financing and investment operations align with the EU’s sustainability commitments.
This report aims to critically assess how the sustainability-proofing principles have performed in correlation to a set of nature protection-related EU policies — namely, the Soil Monitoring Law, the New Deal for Pollinators, and the Regulation on invasive alien species.
