Green lease agreements in the context of the Taxonomy Regulation

The European Green Deal plan was adopted by the European Commission in December 2019 as an ambitious package of measures, ranging from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to investing in cutting-edge research and innovation, and conserving Europe's natural environment. Based on this, the European Commission has adopted three regulations that form the framework for the implementation of environmental, social and governance criteria, one of which is Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (the "Taxonomy Regulation"), which provides that only those economic activities that significantly contribute to the achievement of environmental objectives are "green".
