  2. Climate governance study 2024: Moving from vision to action

    This study reveals that Australian directors increasingly prioritise climate change as a material governance issue. However, stakeholders are pulling in a variety of directions, making it challenging for organisations to execute their climate strategies. Policy uncertainty poses the most significant obstacle for climate governance, although the implementation of mandatory climate reporting from July 2025 presents an opportunity for greater accountability.

  3. Australian material flow analysis to progress to a circular economy

    5 March 2024
    This report provides a comprehensive material flow account for Australia in 2019 to support the assessment of its circular economy progress. The report highlights key areas where policy interventions can improve material intensity, resource efficiency, and waste minimisation. It also evaluates Australia's circularity indicators and performs well on three proposed indicators.

  4. In search of the true greenium

    1 March 2024
    The expected return of green securities relative to brown is a crucial impact measure for ESG investors, and the greenium is more negative in greener countries and over time. The equity greenium has become more negative over time. The proposed robust green score combined with forward-looking expected returns yields a more precisely estimated annual equity greenium.

  5. 2024 XDI gross domestic climate risk report

    The 2024 XDI report ranks over 2,600 regions worldwide according to the projected damage to the built environment from extreme weather and climate change, including floods, wildfires and sea-level rises, and which of these regions are likely to see the largest escalation in damage from 1990 to 2050. Used by companies, governments and investors looking for data on sub-sovereign and regional risk.

  7. Australia's future gas strategy: Corporate advocacy and industry narratives

    23 February 2024
    This report analyses the responses to Australia's Future Gas Strategy by corporate entities and industry associations from the country's fossil fuel value chain. It sheds light on the advocacy for expanding fossil gas supply, which contradicts the science-based policies to meet global climate goals, while showing a lack of positive engagement from non-fossil fuel corporations.

  8. On the importance of assurance in carbon accounting

    23 February 2024
    This paper examines the importance of assurance in corporate carbon accounting, finding that firms with assurance report higher carbon intensity than peers; and that controlling for assurance, there is no evidence that SBTi target-setters reduce their future emissions, while firms that obtain assurance reduce future carbon intensity.

  9. CIMS vs. NZBA climate target setting: Cross-fertilizing best practices

    This report compares the NZBA and CIMS methodologies for climate target setting and identifies best practices for optimizing the mitigation of GHG emissions. By examining their differences and commonalities, the authors provide recommendations and suggest that combining the two frameworks could create a robust joint disclosure framework.

  10. Net zero integrity: Assessment of the net zero pledges of Australian companies

    This report assesses the net zero pledges of ten Australian companies, highlighting a gap between current voluntary commitments and the requirements of global standards. None of the firms have a comprehensive, quantified, and independently verified plan for reducing emissions in line with a science-based pathway.
