Members of the JC3 consist of senior officials from Bursa Malaysia and 19 financial industry players, as well as relevant experts.

During its fifth meeting yesterday, JC3 said following the issuance of the Climate Change and Principle-Based Taxonomy in April 2021, a CCPT Implementation Group will be established to support its consistent and credible implementation by financial institutions.

"The CCPT provides a common framework for the classification of climate risk-related exposures of financial institutions to support risk assessments and encourage financial flows towards greening the economy,” BNM and the Securities Commission said in a joint statement today. "This, in turn, will support risk assessments, better alignment of business strategies with climate targets, and climate-related disclosures by financial institutions,” said the statement.

They also noted that a work plan for the newly established sub-committee on bridging data gaps was endorsed at the meeting.
