Abstract

With climate change posing growing financial risks, the Australian Government has recently mandated climate-related financial disclosures through amendments to the Corporations Act 2001. This new regime requires large companies and financial institutions to disclose their climate-related risks and opportunities, including strategies for managing them. It also aligns Australia with global standards, such as those adopted in the EU, UK and New Zealand, and is designed to enhance transparency, allowing investors to assess the full spectrum of climate risks businesses face.
