Article 10 substantial contribution to climate change MITIGATION: an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to mitigation where it (a) prevents or reduces greenhouse gas emissions / (b) increases greenhouse gas removals / (c) makes an enabling contribution. Article 10(1)(a)-(i) enumerates 9 sub-categories of mitigation contribution including: generating + transmitting + storing + distributing renewable energy; improving energy efficiency; producing clean fuels; switching to use of sustainably sourced renewable materials; increasing the use of environmentally safe carbon capture + utilisation + storage. Article 11 substantial contribution to climate change ADAPTATION: an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to adaptation where it (a) includes adaptation solutions that substantially reduce the risk of the adverse impact of the current climate + the expected future climate on that economic activity or on other people / nature / assets / sustainable development OR (b) provides adaptation solutions that substantially reduce the risk of the adverse impact of the current climate + the expected future climate on other people / nature / assets without increasing the risk of an adverse impact on other people / nature / assets. The Climate Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2139 sets the activity-by-activity TSC for both Article 10 + 11; the Complementary Climate Delegated Act (EU) 2022/1214 adds specific gas + nuclear activities under stringent conditions.
