The Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) has lodged its submission to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water’s consultation on Implementing Australia’s Strategy for Nature 2024–2030.

The Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy is the first in the world to cover the mining sector, and now ASFI is once again breaking new ground, after being engaged to explore science-based methods for developing draft taxonomy nature criteria for agriculture, forestry and land management – sectors critical to biodiversity, water, pollution management and national resilience.

Developed with Farming for Future and informed by collaborative engagement with the NCAG as part of the VNC program, this report shares final insights from the program, highlights key barriers to progress and outlines a proposed way forward to embed natural capital into mainstream financial decision-making.

In the sidelines of the first Global Nature Positive Summit, ASFI jointly hosted together with the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Westpac a roundtable discussion that focused on ways to shift private capital towards nature positive outcomes.

ASFI and Macdoch Foundation’s Farming for the Future have today released first insights from our ‘Valuing Natural Capital’ partnership.
