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 Just Adaptation: An Introduction for Institutional Investors Report | Dr Kate Simmonds | 10/6/2026 Our newest resource helps investors understand and respond to the social dimensions of climate adaptation.Download Physical Risk, Adaptation & ResiliencePolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working Group New resource: Introducing just adaptation for institutional investors 9 June 2026 Our newest resource helps investors understand and respond to the social dimensions of climate adaptation.
