The European Commission opens a public consultation on the "Do No Significant Harm" (DNSH) principle
The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the application of the "Do No Significant Harm" (DNSH) principle, a fundamental criterion for ensuring that investments and actions financed by the European Union do not generate significant negative impacts on the environment.
This initiative will gather opinions and contributions from public administrations, organizations, businesses, stakeholders, and citizens on the practical application of this principle within the framework of European policies and programs.
Interested individuals and organizations can access all the information and participate in the process through the European Commission's official website. The deadline for submitting contributions is September 16, 2026.
The DNSH principle is a key element of the European Union's budgetary and investment policy, helping to ensure that funded projects are compatible with European environmental objectives. (This last sentence is a general explanation to provide context.)
