IPBES assesses links between biodiversity, water, food, health and climate, finding siloed decisions worsen trade-offs. It identifies integrated governance, sustainable consumption, ecosystem restoration and finance reform as response options to support more just and sustainable outcomes.

Research across 85 developing countries found climate finance was associated with lower resource-related conflict risk, particularly through reduced water scarcity and greater renewable energy access. The study suggests climate finance may support stability in fragile regions, with stronger effects observed where higher funding levels were directed towards adaptation and social infrastructure.

The paper argues that pro-social preferences can offset ambiguity aversion in green finance by acting as a behavioural hedge. Using ambiguity-based investment models, the authors show socially motivated investors may accept uncertain green assets, lowering effective hurdle rates and supporting private capital flows into sustainable projects.

Policy brief outlining market-ready climate technologies for buildings, including heat pumps, insulation, renewable energy systems and circular construction practices. The report highlights financing, policy and capacity barriers, particularly in developing economies, and recommends stronger building codes, targeted funding, and integration of traditional knowledge to accelerate low-emissions, climate-resilient buildings.

Tröger argues corporate governance tools, including stewardship, say-on-climate votes and ESG-linked pay, cannot replace broad climate regulation. Firm-level interventions may trigger “waterbed effects”, shifting emissions rather than reducing them. Carbon pricing or comprehensive emissions caps are presented as more effective.

SAIL (Systems Aware Investing Launchpad) is an AI-enhanced platform developed by TIIP to support institutional investors in implementing system-level investing strategies. It provides tools for strategy development, benchmarking, reporting and collaboration, helping users assess and manage systemic environmental, social and financial risks.

The report argues current financial systems misallocate capital towards resource-intensive activities, hindering sustainability transitions. It recommends policy, governance and financial reforms to redirect investment towards resource efficiency, low-carbon development and equitable transition pathways, particularly in resource-dependent economies.

Guide outlines frameworks for assessing, managing and reporting physical climate risks in investment portfolios. It covers exposure mapping, hazard identification, financial impact metrics (e.g. AAL, Climate VaR), scenario analysis, adaptation strategies and regulatory alignment, emphasising integration into governance, risk management and disclosure processes.

The report argues Australia should introduce a Polluter Pays Levy and Fair Share Levy to cut emissions, raise revenue, compensate households, improve productivity, and secure fairer returns from fossil fuel resources.

The ACCEPT Taxonomy Navigator is an online tool that enables users to explore and compare sustainable finance taxonomies, including the ASEAN Taxonomy. It provides a structured view of economic activities and classification criteria, supporting consistent assessment of sustainability alignment and aiding finance professionals in applying taxonomy requirements.

Provides guidance for directors on Australia’s mandatory climate reporting regime, outlining regulatory requirements, governance expectations, and disclosure obligations under AASB S2. Explains implementation timelines, assurance pathways, and practical steps to manage climate-related risks, opportunities, and reporting processes within corporate reporting frameworks.

The ASEAN Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance is a benchmark series that provides a common framework to classify sustainable economic activities across ASEAN. It guides financial institutions, policymakers and market participants in assessing environmental objectives, supporting an orderly transition and alignment with regional and international sustainable finance standards.

Guidance outlines alignment between ESRS and ISSB sustainability standards, focusing on climate disclosures, materiality and reporting requirements. It maps corresponding provisions, highlights differences, and explains how entities can achieve compliance with both frameworks to improve efficiency and consistency in sustainability reporting.

UN resources on climate–SDG synergies examine how integrated approaches to climate action and sustainable development can deliver social, economic and environmental co-benefits. They highlight policy alignment, investment efficiency, and cross-sector strategies to support national planning, reduce costs, and address significant climate and SDG financing gaps.

This handbook explains sustainable finance concepts, ESG scoring, regulation, reporting, sustainable products, impact investing, biodiversity, climate risk measurement, transition and physical risk modelling, portfolio construction, stress testing and risk management for finance practitioners.

The Core Carbon Principles are a global benchmark developed by the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market to assess the quality of carbon credits. They set standards for transparency, governance and environmental integrity, helping market participants identify credible credits and improve confidence in voluntary carbon markets.
