so that climate risks can be accurately priced according to their material impacts on financial institutions.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>Nicole Yazbek-Martin, Head of Taxonomy and Natural Capital at the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI), says that sustainable finance ensures that finance systems integrate net zero transition considerations into decision-making, as well as shifting capital so that more money flows to future net-zero aligned climate solutions.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>“Sustainable finance requires robust, consistent, quality, transparent and verifiable information and data from financial institutions’ clients and assets to enable financial institutions to adjust their capital allocation away from high-risk activities toward new opportunities,” Nicole says.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>“To fully achieve these outcomes, it is essential that real economic policies are in place to incentivise this shift,” she says.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>Nicole Yazbek-Martin will present “The Role of Sustainable Finance to Guide Capital to Net-Zero Transition Solutions” at the <a
