The Treasury is developing guidance on best practices for climate-related transition planning. The consultation paper invites feedback on the direction and design of the guidance.
Transition planning allows organisations to identify and develop strategies in response to climate-related risks and opportunities. This helps inform the decisions of potential investors and lenders.
There are two parts to the consultation paper:
- Part A - outlines the role of transition planning and proposed design approach.
- Part B - provides illustrative draft guidance aligned with the proposed approach.
The guidance aims to
- support international alignment to make it easier to compare transition plans
- outline domestic policy and regulatory considerations
- balance encouraging high ambition with providing flexibility
- take a climate first but not only approach.
Your feedback will inform the design of the final guidance.
The Australian Government committed to publishing the guidance by the end of 2025. This is one of the priorities under the Sustainable Finance Roadmap.
