China Eyes Transition and Nature Taxonomies

Dr Ma Jun said the PBOC is working on a transition taxonomy and looking to create a nature-based taxonomy.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is working on a transition taxonomy and looking to create a nature-based taxonomy, according to Dr Ma Jun, Co-Chair of the UK-China Green Finance Centre.

Speaking yesterday at the Net Zero Delivery Summit in London, Jun said the PBOC was drafting a transition taxonomy, covering four sectors: coal fired power generation, steel, cement and agriculture.

At a local level in China, he said the municipality of Chongqing had just launched a transition taxonomy which had been so far used to finance 90 transition projects with subsidies.

Jun also said that the PBOC would be looking to produce a nature-based taxonomy.

In related news, Jun said a “common ground taxonomy” used by China and Europe could be expanded to Singapore, UK and maybe the ASEAN region.
