🚧 Breaking news: The FAQs for financial undertakings on the EU Taxonomy disclosures are out. 🚧 A special kind of Christmas present (at least) for all FS colleagues. More than 70 questions addressed by the EC in this draft Commission Notice, so a substantial read for the holiday season.. https://lnkd.in/e_r7D555

In order to create a successful transition to a Net Zero and Circular Society, we will have to find a way to integrate Financial Materiality and Environmental and Social Materiality. Good to see that the European Commission is working on this a.o. with the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD): "The European Commission (EC) introduced the double materiality of climate issues in the context of the non-financial reporting directive (NFRD) applying to large financial institutions and non-financial companies. In this context, “materiality” refers to the relevance of information. The idea of the NFRD is that companies should focus their disclosures only on the relevant information."

🌍 The EU Taxonomy is a game-changer for sustainable finance, guiding the shift towards a greener economy. This framework, part of the EU's Sustainable Finance Action Plan, ensures that economic activities contribute positively without causing harm. Tools like Carbon Tool are instrumental in this transition, offering scenario analysis and transparent reporting to meet the Taxonomy's rigorous standards.

The Finance Minister announced the development of a #taxonomy for #climatefinance to enhance the availability of capital for #climateadaptation and #mitigation in the #budget2024. It would be interesting to see the approach taken by #bharat in formulating its climate finance taxonomy. There are two approaches towards formulating the taxonomy: the Technical Screen Criteria (TSC) & Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) principles, and a white-list of eligible economic activities and projects. EU taxonomy is based on TSC & DNSH, while China's taxonomy is based on white-list approach. #taxonomy #climatefinance #bharatbudget2024

I am delighted to have received the 'Introduction to Sustainable Finance Taxonomies' certification offered by UN CC:Learn ⚡ The course gave me insight into sustainable finance taxonomies, their relevance, purpose, core elements, and use cases. It provided guidance on how to develop taxonomies, carefully balancing local usability with international interoperability, and covered theoretical concepts through case studies and real-life applications in China, Colombia, the European Union, and South Africa."

Are you interested in green finance? Or wanting to invest? More and more people want their savings going toward helping the climate. And the Government wants to make that easier. Driving investment in green projects and giving businesses and investors greater clarity, transparency and certainty to invest, are all important parts of the transition. Two big updates on that: 1️⃣We issued our first green treasury bond at $7 billion. Investors want to back green projects and projects that can deliver a return. With a bond from the Australian Government, investors can have both, with bonds funding projects like green hydrogen hubs, community batteries and programs to conserve biodiversity. 2️⃣We are defining what is “green” with an Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy People who want to put their savings toward the climate deserve to know that their investment will actually deliver. Confidence that investments are green also means that more capital will go toward solving climate change. Currently there are over 40 taxonomies being developed or in use around the world. This can be confusing for investors and also don’t necessarily reflect Australia’s needs or context. That’s why we’re working with the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute to set up a sustainable finance taxonomy. We’re creating a common, consistent framework backed by scientists and experts to accurately assess investments in Australia and how they will support Australia’s decarbonisation ambitions. Consultation is currently underway: https://lnkd.in/ghsFYVAB Both these announcements are about making climate financing clearer and more transparent. We know that we cannot decarbonise our economy without private investment. We want to work with all willing industries, businesses and partners to create investment certainty, and seize the opportunities of a decarbonised economy. #news #sustianablefinance #climatefinance #greenbonds #greenprojects #greeninvesting
