Clingy bear cubs, a lion-hearted discussion, and a gecko grin are just a few of the giggle-worthy finalists in this year’s Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. From nearly 9,000 submissions from photographers in 98 countries, jurors selected 40 entries for the final round, illuminating a wide range of mammals, amphibians, fish, and fowl around the world.

Co-founded in 2015 by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullamto, the competition fuses wildlife photography with the powerful positivity of humor to help promote conservation around the planet.

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
