On 28 May 2024, the Australian Sustainable Finance Insititute (ASFI) launched the first public consultation for Australia's sustainable finance taxonomy. The consultation is seeking feedback on:
the draft headline ambitions for the Australian taxonomy's environmental objectives; and
the proposed activities and draft substantive climate change mitigation criteria for the first three sectors to be developed under the taxonomy:
Electricity generation and storage.
Minerals, mining and metals.
The built environment.
The consultation period is short – ending Sunday 30 June. To assist, RIAA is hosting a member event on Thursday, 6 June 2024 at 11am AEST.
The webinar will cover:
Background to ASFI and how a Taxonomy fits with other policy developments.
Areas open for consultation.
RIAA's approach to this consultation.
Tips and ideas for effective engagement with policy .
