Submission: Investors weigh in on NSW Gov Annual Climate Report
17 February 2025
IGCC welcomes the level of ambition within the Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Act 2023 and broadly supports the findings of the NSW Government's first Annual Report of the Net Zero Commission. IGCC's response provides direction as to which of its priority areas are most critical to address for investors.
Institutional investors require a coherent policy approach across all sectors of the economy – and all levels of government – to confidently allocate capital towards the net zero transition. As such, IGCC has been an active collaborator in the development of the federal government’s climate policy agenda.
IGCC points to principles for investible policy developed at the federal level and applies them to key issues raised in the Report.
Priority areas include:
• establishing a coherent whole-of-government approach to decarbonisation policy,
• addressing emissions from fossil fuel use and exploration,
• remedying challenges within planning processes,
• land use concerns in a climate-changed world, and;
• adaptation and resilience.
