Submission: Victorian Draft Adaptation Action Plans 2027-31 Submission | Kate Simmonds | 15 July 2026 IGCC strongly supports Victoria’s use of sector-based adaptation planning. For investors, these Plans help provide confidence that regions will maintain economic resilience and therefore are a safe place for investment. While IGCC is broadly supportive of the actions identified, we encourage the Victorian Government to strengthen the Plans by improving the specificity and accountability of actions, increasing focus on adaptation finance, prioritising regulation and planning reform, and developing longer-term adaptation pathways beyond 2031.Download AustraliaBuildings & InfrasctructureEnergyPhysical Risk, Adaptation & ResiliencePolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working GroupTransport Submission: Australian Energy Regulator Network Resilience Guidelines Submission | Kate Simmonds | 9 July 2026 IGCC supports the AER’s efforts to provide greater clarity on resilience expenditure. However, the consultation paper focuses primarily on process, rather than strategic issues shaping network resilience. IGCC encourages the AER to strengthen its broader approach to network resilience by closing gaps in climate science and risk assessment, improving system-level coordination, standardising financial assessment of resilience, considering community vulnerability, supporting flexible adaptation pathways, and increasing transparency of decision-making.Download AustraliaBuildings & InfrasctructureEnergyPhysical Risk, Adaptation & ResiliencePolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working Group Submission: One barrier might come down, but superannuation performance test reforms won’t unlock climate investment on their own Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 19 June 2026 Changing the superannuation performance test is not the single ‘silver bullet’ solution – in and of itself, reform of the performance test may remove a barrier to investment in some asset classes for some investors, but it will not act as an incentive for more investment. IGCC urges the government to consider any proposed changes to the performance test in the context of all other policy changes available to it that could, or seek to, influence investment in net zero.Download AustraliaDecarbonising the EconomyEnergyNet Zero Investment FrameworkPolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working Group State of Net Zero Investment 2026 Report | Investor Group on Climate Change | 18 June 2026 The market’s most insightful report on how institutional investors are looking at climate risks and opportunities.Download AustraliaClimate Solutions & TechCorporate EngagementDecarbonising the EconomyEnergyInvestor PracticePhysical Risk, Adaptation & ResiliencePolicy & Advocacy Submission: More work needed on the foreign resident capital gains tax regime for renewables Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 24 April 2026 IGCC respects the Government’s intentions to strengthen and provide clarity to the foreign resident CGT regime. However, the draft legislation contains a number of elements that will chill much-needed investment in renewable energy and create undue sovereign risk. More analysis of the economic impact of the proposed changes is required to establish a level playing field for all investors and appropriate transition arrangements that avoid jeopardising Australia’s energy transition.Download AustraliaDecarbonising the EconomyEnergyNet Zero Investment FrameworkPolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working Group Supercharging Australia’s Future: IGCC’s Policy Priorities 31 March 2026 Mobilising capital for clean energy, industry and climate resilience.
