Sustainability: DNSH

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH), also known as the principle of “do not significantly harm”. DNSH is a new principle adopted with the aim of supporting the implementation of the European Green Deal and is likely to be required for all projects funded by European funds.

The principle of DNSH

The aim of the DNSH principle is to promote investments in environmentally sustainable economic activities. This will result in limiting financing for activities that significantly harm the environment.For example, activities:

• where raw materials are used inefficiently,
• that generate large amounts of greenhouse gases or waste.

The DNSH principle covers six key areas:

• climate change mitigation,
• adaptation to climate change,
• sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources,
• transition to a circular economy,
• prevention and control of pollution,
• protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

This principle will apply throughout the European Union and will affect the provision of public support.
