$150,000 boost for Monash research with Taiwan on sustainable finance

Monash University 2 mins read
  • Media:

Monash University has received a $150,000 grant from the Australian government to undertake a collaborative research project with Taiwan. This two-year initiative aims to address the legal and regulatory challenges in sustainable finance.

The grant, provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations (NFACR), supports enhanced cooperation between Australia and mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This project aligns with Australia's national interests and the Australia-China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Titled Australia-Taiwan Collaboration in Addressing Legal and Regulatory Challenges in Sustainable Finance, the project will enhance Australia's capability to engage with industry, academia and community leaders in Taiwan. It aims to foster dialogue and exchange that contribute to a stable and constructive relationship, furthering collaboration on sustainable finance and a net-zero economy.

The project will be led by Associate Professor Cheng-Yun Tsang and Associate Professor Gerry Nagtzaam from the Faculty of Law.

Associate Professor Cheng-Yun Tsang is a member of the Centre for Commercial Law and Regulatory Studies (CLARS). He is an expert in the regulation of financial technology and international financial law. His research and grants cover the fields of RegTech/SupTech, digital assets, Central Bank Digital Currency, regulatory sandbox, open banking and sustainable finance, with a particular emphasis on innovation in regulatory thinking and strategies.

 

Associate Professor Tsang serves on the editorial board of the Capital Markets Law Journal (OUP) and is a Foreign Contributing Editor of Banking and Finance Law Review.

 

Associate Professor Gerry Nagtzaam is a globally-recognised environmental scholar whose research intersects environmental law, politics, history, and economics. He has authored books on international environmental treaties, nuclear waste disposal, whaling, global biodiversity loss, decarbonisation strategies and plastic pollution regulation. 

Over the next two years, the project will facilitate deep and collaborative dialogue through workshops and summits co-hosted by Monash University and the Taiwan Sustainable Finance & Impact Investing Academy. These events will also involve leading universities from both sides.

The themes of the workshops and summits will align with Australia and Taiwan's net-zero policy initiatives and regulatory challenges for sustainable finance. Topics will include climate-related disclosures, sustainable finance taxonomy, sustainable investments, regulatory frameworks, and market supervision and enforcement.

Research reports will be produced from each workshop, and a continuing collaborative network will serve as an alumni platform to strengthen foundations between Australia and Taiwan. These research outputs are expected to further dialogue and collaboration in sustainable finance and relevant regulatory efforts.
