The 2026 Living Wage Dataset by Valuing Impact is a free global database covering 217 countries and eight household scenarios. It uses the Anker and Anker methodology with updated cost-of-living data to estimate living wages for urban and rural households, supporting sustainability, labour practice and supply chain analysis.

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.

Forest 500 finds that anticipated EUDR regulation is already driving corporate traceability and deforestation action, though progress remains uneven: only 4% of assessed companies are leaders, 63% show partial action and 33% remain laggards.

Discussion paper outlines integrating state of nature metrics into TNFD, GRI and SBTN frameworks. It proposes embedding consensus metrics from the Nature Positive Initiative across assessment, disclosure, transition planning and target-setting, highlighting ecosystem extent and condition as central to evaluating nature-related dependencies, risks and opportunities.

China’s PM₂.₅-targeted regulation reduced particulates but increased O₃ via pollutant substitution driven by incentive distortions. Resulting ozone rises increased mortality and reduced biodiversity, offsetting ~24% of policy benefits. Findings highlight welfare losses from narrow performance metrics and the need for multi-pollutant regulation.

Framework for impact statements, valuing organisations’ societal effects across natural, human and social capital using eQALY. It outlines scope, data, modelling, reporting, governance and case studies to support comparable, decision-useful impact valuation.

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.

Develops a multi-sided matching model showing stakeholder exit or engagement depends on whether harm scales with productivity. When it does, high-productivity stakeholders exit, triggering reallocation spillovers that reduce harm economy-wide. Firm-level analyses underestimate impact by missing these general equilibrium “trickle-down” effects.

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.

OECD’s Green Finance and Investment series provides policy analysis and guidance to mobilise public and private finance for green growth. It examines how regulatory frameworks and investment strategies can scale funding for low-carbon, climate-resilient and resource-efficient infrastructure, technologies and businesses.

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.

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 UK Stewardship Code (2026) sets voluntary principles for asset owners, managers and service providers to demonstrate effective stewardship through transparent, outcomes-focused reporting, supporting responsible capital allocation and long-term value creation for clients and beneficiaries.

Sectoral roadmaps translate national climate targets into sector-specific decarbonisation pathways, guiding policy, investment and corporate transition plans. They align real-economy activity with finance, reduce uncertainty, and support risk assessment and capital allocation, strengthening the credibility and implementation of whole-economy transition planning.

The IFC Performance Standards (2012) form part of the Sustainability Framework, setting requirements for clients to identify, manage, and mitigate environmental and social risks in financed projects. They comprise eight standards covering areas such as labour, resource efficiency, biodiversity, and community impacts, and are widely used as a global benchmark for responsible investment.

Examines how the ICJ’s climate advisory opinion may elevate climate-related risks and regulatory pressures, increasing directors’ duty of care. Highlights litigation, disclosure, and transition risks, particularly for emissions-intensive sectors, and emphasises informed decision-making and accurate reporting to mitigate liability.
