EU Green Taxonomy · K-Taxonomy Classification

CSuggestive similarity

Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.

Suggestive similarity

Semantic

Moderate keyword/concept overlap

Temporal

Global precedent precedes Korea

Linkage

No recorded linkage

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.848

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.848); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

EU Taxonomy and international sustainable finance frameworks establish technical screening criteria to classify environmentally sustainable economic activities and prevent greenwashing.

•Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
•Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
•A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Matched concepts: greenwashing ↔ 기후에너지환경부; environmentally sustainable ↔ 녹색

Cross-lingual similarity 74/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: emulation — EU Taxonomy echo

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Short verbatim anchors from the global instrument and Korean law/policy — not a full stenogram.

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Score Guide

Confidence — Editorial A–D tier from semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.

Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
