This submission outlines recommendations for reforming Australia’s Safeguard Mechanism to incentivise on-site industrial decarbonisation. Key proposals include a 7 per cent annual baseline decline rate, a 'Reinvestment Contribution' on carbon credit use, and expanded scheme coverage to support Australia’s 2035 climate targets and industrial competitiveness.

IGCC's submission outlines reforms to the superannuation performance test to support climate-aligned investment. It identifies structural barriers, including regulatory uncertainty and project pipelines, while advocating for optional, prospective implementation of benchmark changes. The report emphasises that acting on climate change is essential for fiduciary duty and long-term member returns.

The 2026 Integrated System Plan outlines Australia’s transition to 98% renewable generation by 2050. The roadmap identifies the least-cost pathway, requiring 117 GW of utility-scale solar and wind firmed by 50 GW of storage. The plan delivers $28 billion in net market benefits while ensuring system reliability.

The 2026 Electricity Statement of Opportunities provides a 10-year reliability outlook for Australia’s National Electricity Market. It examines emerging supply scarcity risks as 13 GW of coal generation retires, detailing the critical roles of electrification, data centre expansion, consumer energy resources, and government-supported infrastructure programmes in maintaining system reliability.

This Clean Energy Council report highlights a strong first quarter for energy storage in 2025, with $2.4 billion in new investment commitments. Generation projects experienced a slower start, contributing 386 MW. The analysis details project pipelines, cost trends, and the accelerated deployment required to meet Australia’s renewable energy targets.

This report analyses Australia's large-scale renewable energy sector in Q4 2025, detailing a significant investment rebound. It highlights record-breaking commissioning outcomes for generation and storage projects. Despite strong quarterly performance, annual investment totals remain below 2024 levels, with the report identifying ongoing planning and infrastructure challenges as key hurdles.

Australia's renewable energy sector experienced a soft Q2 2025, with only 615 MW of generation committed. Total 2025 commitments of 1,173 MW represent roughly one third of the required run-rate for 82 per cent renewable targets. However, utility-scale storage deployment remains on track with record commissioning averages.

This research examines the fragmented definitions of climate adaptation and resilience within finance and real assets. It identifies structural disagreements between regulatory frameworks and highlights five institutional gaps, including valuation and governance, that hinder large-scale investment. The paper advocates for improved institutional architecture to address systemic climate risks.

This working paper assesses Japan's integration of gender considerations in climate finance projects. Using a framework of recognition, redistribution, and representation, it finds that while most projects are gender-tagged, documentation reveals limited substantive integration in delivery. It recommends reforming reporting templates to improve transparency and project-level accountability.

This report analyses the business case for transitioning four major Thai meat producers to plant-based proteins. It demonstrates that a 100% transition by 2050 could reduce emissions by 73%, save 8,375 square kilometres of land and increase net profits by 65% compared to traditional animal-based production models.

The Climate Adaptation Investment Framework identifies six building blocks to help governments mobilise public and private finance for climate resilience. It addresses the gap between tens of billions in current flows and the hundreds of billions needed annually, offering guidance on regulation, strategic planning, and sustainable finance tools.

Planned summarisation: 1. Review document structure. 2. Identify key findings. 3. Summarise constraints and principles. 4. Verify UK English and word count. This report provides a decision framework for scaling AI infrastructure sustainably. It identifies six strategic constraints—including electricity, water, and community acceptance—shaping data centre viability. The playbook offers universal principles, metrics, and market profiles to help stakeholders align investment with long-term resilience, potentially unlocking $1 trillion in investment by 2030.

This report analyses 426 global cities to define the "resilience spread" between economic capacity and climate risk. It finds that climate pressures currently impact 30% of cities negatively and could erode USD 2.5 trillion in global productivity by 2100 without significant adaptation investment.

This report details investor expectations for companies to eliminate deforestation and associated human rights risks. Using a five-pillar framework—Commit, Assess, Transform, Engage, and Disclose—it aims to mitigate material financial risks while building supply chain resilience and supporting international climate and biodiversity targets by 2030.

This guide examines greenwashing and disinformation in the mining sector, detailing strategies used to project an environmentally responsible image. It identifies tactics such as 'woke-washing' and judicial intimidation, while advocating for stronger consumer protection, anti-SLAPP laws, and transparency to combat corporate narratives that delay urgent climate action.

This research evaluates high-resolution EC-Earth3 climate simulations for the North Atlantic and Arctic. Findings indicate improved representation of global temperatures but reveal a projected ice-free Arctic by 2040 and a 39% AMOC weakening by 2100. A new framework identifies the Labrador Sea as the primary driver of AMOC reduction.
