As a comprehensive framework, it provides a standardized classification system for environmentally sustainable eco-nomic activities. The goal of the EU Taxonomy is to combat greenwashing, enhance transparency, and assist investors and businesses in selecting sustainable options.This project aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the current literature on the EU Taxonomy Regulation to gain insights into the scholarly landscape, identify trends, and evaluate the impact of this regulation on research and academic discourse.

The EU taxonomy spans various disciplines such as finance, economics, environmental sciences and politics. By conducting bibliometric analysis, the university can facilitate collaboration between researchers from different fields, promote interdisciplinary dialogue and generate valuable insights on the impact of the EU taxonomy on sustainable investments. Additionally, the research project fits with the university's commitment to sustainability and responsibility. The EU taxonomy aims to combat greenwashing and promote transparency in sustainable investments. By analyzing the literature and trends surrounding the EU taxonomy, the university can contribute to the development of robust methodologies and frameworks for assessing and measuring sustainability in investments.

The results of the bibliometric analysis provide valuable insights into how the EU taxonomy is actually implemented in the context of sustainable finance. This information can be used by the Government of Liechtenstein to make informed decisions to promote sustainable investments and implement environmental goals.Furthermore, the Principality of Liechtenstein can use the findings on current trends and developments in relation to the EU taxonomy from the research project to increase its competitiveness in the area of sustainable finance. This can help establish Liechtenstein as a preferred location for companies and investors looking for environmentally friendly investment opportunities.
The research project will help promote awareness of sustainable finance and environmental protection in Liechtenstein. By disseminating research results, the University of Liechtenstein can support educational and information initiatives that raise awareness among the country's citizens about the importance of sustainable financial practices.
Liechtenstein can position itself as a pioneer in innovative approaches to promote sustainability and responsible investment. This could help the country gain international recognition as a leading player in sustainable finance and environmental protection.
