We are pleased to confirm and welcome the newly formed NZ Taxonomy Technical Advisor Group (TAG) for the construction and buildings sector.
Sector-specific TAGs play a critical role in developing technical screening criteria for a sustainable finance taxonomy that is fit-for-purpose for Aotearoa New Zealand.
There were many strong applicants from across the sector. The NZ Taxonomy secretariat worked closely with the NZ Taxonomy technical delivery partner, Climate Bonds Initiative, to select these TAG members for their expertise in climate change mitigation and/or adaptation and resilience, along with their deep knowledge of the construction and buildings sector.
