Final Answer:

The purpose of template 10 "Other climate change mitigating actions that are not covered in the EU Taxonomy" of Annex XXXIX to the Final draft implementing technical standards on prudential disclosures on ESG risks in accordance with Article 449a CRR is to provide information on other actions put in place by the institution to mitigate climate-change-related risks, exposures that are not considered under the Green Asset Ratio (GAR) in templates 7 and 8.
