  • Interoperability is defined as the ability to compare sustainable finance taxonomies based on common principles or a scientific baseline, such as the Paris Agreement, allowing them to be understood across borders even if they are not identical.
  • The document establishes seven core principles for interoperability: 1) basing taxonomies on jurisdictional priorities and G20 best practices; 2) using common terminology and resources; 3) defining clear use cases and prioritizing SMEs; 4) ensuring regular reviews and expanding coverage to high-impact activities; 5) reducing complexity through science-based criteria; 6) promoting market adoption via user support and pilots; and 7) participating in international collaborative efforts.
  • To improve technical interoperability, the report recommends adopting a common sector classification based on the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) and utilizing six common environmental objectives: climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, biodiversity protection, sustainable use of water and marine resources, pollution control, and circular economy.
  • The report advocates for the use of clear, binary 'pass/fail' technical criteria based on quantitative metrics or proxies to reduce subjectivity and facilitate cross-border comparison, while advising that principle-based language like 'minimize' or 'reduce' be given low priority.
  • The document identifies three main transition methodologies used by taxonomies to encourage the shift toward net zero: binary thresholds (e.g., EU), a 'traffic light' approach (e.g., ASEAN), or a combined approach (e.g., Australia).
  • The Taxonomy Roadmap Initiative, launched at COP29, focuses on three pillars: identifying a common core set of economic activities, developing common technical methodologies for alignment, and formulating common methodologies for financing the transition.
