Event Details
The Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) welcomes you to join us for the second Taxonomy Information Forum webinar, at which ASFI's Taxonomy Project Lead, Nicole Yazbek-Martin, will introduce the key methodological design features of the Australian sustainable finance taxonomy.
These features, which have been endorsed by the Taxonomy Technical Expert Group, are set out in two methodology reports that will be released ahead of the webinar. They form the basis on which the Australian taxonomy's technical screening and further qualifying criteria will be developed over the next twelve months.
The first report defines "green" and "transition" and how sectors and activities will be assessed as eligible or not for inclusion in the taxonomy under these labels. The second report explains the process for determining the classification of other environmental objectives and social considerations in the taxonomy, and how they will be defined for the purpose of ensuring that green and transition activities that support climate change mitigation do not undermine Australia's other sustainability goals.
In July 2023, ASFI and the Australian Government commenced a joint initiative to develop an Australian sustainable finance taxonomy. The taxonomy will provide a common standard for sustainable finance in Australia, thereby helping channel more capital into achieving our net-zero ambitions.
There will be an opportunity for Q&A, and a recording of the webinar will be published on ASFI's website. If you didn't catch the first Taxonomy Information Forum webinar, you can access the recording here.
We look forward to seeing you there!
