Climate Disclosure statements

The Commonwealth Climate Disclosure (CCD) is the Australian Government’s policy for Commonwealth entities to publicly disclose their exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities, and the actions taken to manage them.

There are 4 foundational climate disclosure pillars which provide a clear and structured framework for identifying, assessing, reporting climate-related risks and opportunities:

  • Governance: How entities oversee climate-related risks and opportunities 
  • Strategy: How entities plan long-term and build resilience to climate change 
  • Risk management: How entities identify, asses and mitigating climate risks 
  • Metrics and targets: How entities use data and targets to measure and track climate progress, including scenario analysis and greenhouse gas emissions.
