Sustainable Finance
Recent progress on climate risk has underlined the opportunity for policymakers and industry to build strategic policy roadmap for sustainable finance in Australia. The special and urgent case for action on climate-related risks is part of a broader challenge: driving better corporate and financial sector support for long-term sustainability across the board. To help meet this challenge, our Climate Horizons research called for government to appoint a Sustainable Finance Taskforce to align Australia’s efforts with major sustainable finance reviews and reforms currently underway around the world. In 2019, CPD continues to work with private sector, public sector and civil society stakeholders as this agenda takes shape, including by ensuring that policymakers and regulators are fully engaged with new opportunities in this area.
