Get Down with Jonathan Arnold: Canadian Climate Taxonomy: A Sorting Hat for Clean Investments
Jonathan Arnold from the Canadian Climate Institute joins us to kickstart the mini-series on Sustainable Finance Taxonomies.
Our host Gaurav asks Jonathan about the premise of a Climate Taxonomy in Canada, the bureaucratic process it took to set this up and the current political holdup this taxonomy is facing.
They also touch upon how the Canadian Taxonomy is unique because of its 'transition' label that includes certain controversial oil and gas projects. Tune in to better understand this unique financial sorting instrument, and witness a 'Sorting Hat' exercise for clean investments.
