TAF’s Comments on the Expert Panel’s Interim Report on Sustainable Finance

January 2019. Government of Canada. Here are our insights and comments on the Expert Panel on Sustainable Finance (Environment and Climate Change Canada)’s interim report on Sustainable Finance.

TAF is particularly pleased that the Expert Panel on Sustainable Finance has identified investment in energy efficiency retrofits of existing buildings as a priority opportunity which should be incubated and mainstreamed. Improving efficiency in buildings is considered one of the most affordable ways to reduce GHG emissions, offering greater opportunities for low-cost GHG reductions relative to other sectors.
