Government data sources relevant to the assessment of physical risks in

Hong Kong, including historical data on catastrophe damages, district level

micro-climate conditions (such as tropical cyclones, flooding, landslides and

tool; and

Taxonomies and sustainability reporting

The Steering Group has been engaging with the industry and other relevant

stakeholders to better understand the features and challenges of the local green

classification framework. Following the publication of the updated Common Ground

Taxonomy (CGT) report by the International Platform on Sustainable Finance (Note

1), the Steering Group will, with support from experts, work towards proposing the

structure and core elements of the local green classification framework for

consultation.

A key focus of financial regulators globally is to facilitate capital allocation for

the transition to a low carbon economy. As a global baseline for sustainability

reporting, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) aims to produce the
first set of international sustainability standards in late 2022 or early 2023 (Note 2).

The Steering Group encourages market participants to respond to the ISSB public

consultation on its proposed standards, which will close on 29 July 2022.
