Greenpeace and other environmental campaigners launch legal challenges against the European Commission over its decision to include natural gas and nuclear energy in the EU’s list of “green” investments

The Commission has until February to respond. If the Commission does not withdraw the rules, the groups said they would take their challenges to the European Court of Justice.
