Climate change expenditure review 2022–23

Status
In progress

We are reviewing whether we need to refine our regulatory approaches, given the climate change risks and opportunities that now confront regulated entities.

We published a discussion paper seeking comments on matters including:

  • the risks and drivers of climate action
  • the effectiveness of existing regulatory frameworks to accommodate and create appropriate incentives to manage climate change risks
  • corporate and regulatory insights on how climate change is managed by other organisations.

We received comments on the discussion paper from seven stakeholders. These submissions and our paper are available to download below.

We will now produce a draft position paper for further stakeholder comment. We will then publish a final position paper that outlines our views on the above matters.
