Assessing International Interoperability and Usability of the South African Green Finance Taxonomy

Overview

This technical paper seeks to assess the international Interoperability and Usability of the South African Green Finance Taxonomy (SA GFT) while further addressing usability concerns and making recommendations for future iterations of the SA GFT. The report makes a multi-jurisdictional comparison of other existing and taxonomies that are under development to identify the best global practices and address how these could be applied to the SA GFT. In addition, the analysis draws on global practices to identify the institutional, operational, and technical functions necessary for governance and disclosure, which are essential for the ongoing implementation, maintenance, and
further development of the SA GFT.
