Episode Ep. 184: Canada’s Sustainable Finance Taxonomy: The Next Step in Climate-aware Financial Supervision
As Canada works to scale sustainable investment and support the transition to a net-zero economy, a new Sustainable Finance Taxonomy aims to provide a common framework for identifying green, transition, and emissions-abatement activities. By creating clear, science-based definitions and safeguards, the taxonomy is intended to improve transparency, reduce greenwashing, and help direct capital toward climate solutions.
In this podcast, Jean Lorrain speaks with Marlene Puffer, Chair of the Canadian Taxonomy and Transition Planning Council. They discuss the proposed framework, the importance of international alignment and interoperability, the role of the taxonomy in mobilizing investment and supporting climate-related risk oversight, and how it can strengthen market integrity while advancing Canada’s net-zero ambitions.
