ASFI Submission to the First Nations Clean Energy Strategy Consultation

ASFI welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the Australian Government’s First Nations Clean Energy Strategy consultation paper.

ASFI prioritises elevating First Nations' perspectives, emphasising the value of their lived experiences and First Nations knowledge across all facets of our operations. This approach ensures that these critical insights actively inform and shape the development of sustainable finance, policy, and practices in Australia.

As an organisation whose mission is to transform Australia’s finance system to become more sustainable, resilient and inclusive, we have focused our response on those most relevant to ASFI’s members and our system-changing work in the finance sector.

We look forward to working with the Government, our members and broader partners to help ensure the clean energy transition delivers positive outcomes for First Nations Australians, and we will use our role as a convener of the Australian financial sector to bring together First Nations experiences and knowledge to the clean energy finance transition.
