18、urement of climate- related risks and use of incentives and other mechanisms to prevent market failure. Not only would a coordinated and holistic approach catalyse innovation and incentivise greater participation from the private sector, but also support continued growth and development of sustainab

19、le finance in markets. Indeed, a key objective of this paper is to draw attention to the variety of approaches and frameworks being implemented, and to highlight the need for greater consistency and compatibility between regimes, including with respect to economies at different stages of development

20、. ASIFMA encourages policymakers in Asia Pacific jurisdictions to coordinate with each other and apply the following principles: 1. Avoid requirements that are unduly complex or prescriptive, while being aware of unintended consequences of regulation such as market distortion and fragmentation; 2. S

21、trive for consistency and compatibility whilst allowing for the variation of economic and capital markets development, a key feature of the Asia Pacific region; 3. Where possible, align policies and frameworks with international standards to avoid unnecessary complexity and unlevel-playing-field iss

22、ues for market participants operating globally; and 4. Where international standards are not yet under development, seek to encourage and catalyse development of such standards, particularly as Asia Pacific jurisdictions have unique perspectives in not only being significant recipients of sustainabl

23、e finance, but also being most impacted by sustainability challenges. Global coordination is essential because like climate change, investing and financing do not take place within the bounds of clear borders, and cross-border capital flows are so vital. Indeed, while most of the investment needed t

24、o achieve the Paris Agreements goals will come from developed economies, emerging markets, including those in Asia, are often most in need of investment and will be impacted heavily by regulation impacting investment decisions. This must be taken into account during policy design, which should suppo

25、rt the appropriate flow of funding to maximise investment in sustainability. Page 9 We encourage Asia Pacific policymakers to engage actively with their international counterparts, and to represent this regions perspective prominently in global fora. The European Union (“EU”) is today at the forefro

26、nt of international policy development and, while such leadership is to be commended, it is not prudent for the industry and policymakers to leave standard-setting to any one jurisdiction alone, or for standards to be established without due consideration of unintended consequences and potential mar

27、ket distortions. By actively sharing perspectives with others and contributing to policymaking elsewhere, this can also help to ensure compatibility and interoperability between regimes. Active and early-stage participation in international coordinating forums such as the Network for Greening the Fi

28、nancial System (“NGFS”) by regulators in the Asia Pacific region are highly welcome. In addition, Asia Pacific regulators may also consider forming a specific regional task force with sub- groups targeting specific issues such as regulatory disclosure, ESG scoring, risk management, etc., or working

29、through other existing industry structures and in order to achieve the level of coordination needed for an effective regional approach to sustainability, and engagement globally. 2.1 Consistent and Representative Taxonomy Currently, there exist a wide range of taxonomies developed by different jurisdictions, organisations, and individual firms with substantively differing interpretations of what makes a product or activity sustainable. In September 2019, the industry, through ASIFMAs sister organisation Association for Financial Markets in Europe (“AFME”), re
