Policy & Advocacy
IGCC is the investment community’s authoritative voice on climate change.
Our policy positions are created through extensive member consultation, thought leadership, and research based on the latest science.
IGCC then advocates for these policies by engaging with relevant decision-makers across Parliament, government departments, media and other key stakeholders.
We publish thought-leading resources based on exclusive research and our unique position in a network of investors, analysts, academic researchers and policy-makers.

The Investor Group on Climate Change has deep relationships with key decision makers. We engage across parliament to advocate for policy that avoids systemic climate risks and unlock substantial investment in a clean economy.
Regular Engagements
As a bipartisan organisation, we engage regularly with ministers, opposition, and the crossbench.
Canberra Roadshow
We regularly take senior investment professionals to Canberra, arranging meetings with key departments, political offices, and senior media.
