From pledges to pathways: The Australian leadership opportunity

With climate disclosures now mandatory in Australia, and strong global momentum towards the green transition, Australian business has an opportunity to drive global climate finance and transition pathways. Research commissioned by the UN Global Compact Network Australia and completed by Canbury indicates that capital allocation, value-chain integration, and commitments and ambition lag behind global 1.5°C expectations.

This research outlines why Australia is positioned to lead, benchmarking of Australian businesses, the international benchmark and key actions to progress the green transition.
