Public consultation on the draft Construction & Buildings sector criteria for the NZ Taxonomy is planned to open in October 2026.
Watch this webinar, where Jessica Desmond, Head of Taxonomy, provides an overview of the NZ Taxonomy development process, explains the structure of the criteria, outlines the key consultation focus areas, and helps you prepare to provide your consultation response.
The NZ Taxonomy is to be a classification system for sustainable economic activities that enables market participants to mobilise and direct capital flows towards:
- Building a low-emissions, Paris-aligned future;
- Restoring nature; and
- Upholding the rights and interests of Indigenous Peoples of the land.
This consultation is intended to enable interested stakeholders to provide feedback and technical input to ensure the final criteria are credible, usable, domestically relevant and interoperable with international benchmark taxonomies.
