In the medium and long term, the 8-year “Mi Costa” (My Coast) project is expected to recover more than 15,000 hectares of coastal ecosystems, mainly mangroves, forests and marsh grasslands that will restore the functionality of wetlands, explained Sandra Loza Alvarez, PhD in Science, researcher at the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICIMAR) and technical coordinator of the initiative.

In an exclusive interview for the Cuban News Agency, she said that direct interventions in La Coloma, Cajio Beach, Surgidero de Batabano, Jucaro, Florida Beach, Santa Cruz del Sur and Manzanillo will increase resilience to extreme hydrometeorological events in the most vulnerable communities of Cuba’s southern coast.

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.
