About the webinar

Join the Centre for Sustainable Finance: Toitū Tahua, for an update on the progress developing a sustainable finance taxonomy for Aotearoa New Zealand and to prepare for the upcoming consultation on the Construction and Buildings sector criteria. The NZ Taxonomy development commenced last year with work on climate change mitigation, and adaptation and resilience criteria, for the Agricultural and Forestry sectors. In 2026, development of criteria in the Construction and Buildings sector, along with the Energy sector, is now underway.  Feedback on the draft criteria is being sought in the public consultation period, opening July 2026. All stakeholders are encouraged to engage. Join Jessica Desmond (CSF) to understand the progress so far, and to find out more about responding to the first public consultation.
