Time to Unleash the Power of the Institutional Investor-Public Partnerships’ (IIPPs) Presidential Climate Investment Authority (PCIA) At the heart of the PCIA is the Climate Procurement Authority (CPA), a specialized body embedded within the Office of the President. The CPA’s mandate is multifaceted and strategically focused on creating an enabling environment for NDCs aligned private climate investments at scale.  The PCIA acts as a bridge between governmental bodies, public corporations, and private investors, ensuring seamless cooperation and alignment with ambitious NDC climate goals.  Here’s how: https://lnkd.in/dQpw4K_p

Climate finance, and by extension sustainable finance, will be a defining feature of the multilateral landscape for years to come. It will certainly be an important cornerstone in climate justice. I am grateful to the teams at P3SA: Public and Third Sector Academy for Sustainable Finance and University of Oxford for creating this incredibly concise masterclass in sustainable finance.

I look forward to facilitating this esteemed panel at tomorrow's 2024 Annual Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) Conference. RIAA's membership represents ~75% managed funds in Australia, with over 500 members representing US$29Tn in assets under management across Australia and New Zealand. This panel illuminates a particularly fraught area of transition plan credibility, one which corporates and investors alike are still developing their approach on. The regulatory eye is already on investors who advertise a 'stewardship' approach to their investee companies, and this will intensify as climate disclosures come into play, followed by end-to-end transition plan disclosure guidance. For a robust discussion on all-things-offsets, I'm joined by experts Megan Evans, Senior Lecturer at UNSW Business School, Duncan Paterson, Director of Investor Practice at Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC), and John Connor, CEO at Carbon Market Institute (CMI). Join us at Breakout Room 1 tomorrow (Wednesday) at 1.15pm - full conference program available here: https://lnkd.in/gusQM_Fe

This panel will discuss the state of the VCM today, and what is needed to achieve meaningful scale and significant impact. w/ Jonathan Hackett Lorraine Audsley Michael Mexis Gillian Lofts Hosted by Canadian Lenders Association
