Emmanuel and Sue looked back at the ISSB’s progress in 2023, such as the issuance of IFRS

the implementation of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 including capacity building, interoperability
and connections.
They also reflected on highlights from this month, including:

the ISSB’s engagements at COP28;
-
the launch of the IFRS Sustainability knowledge hub; and
-
nature and social aspects of climate-related risks and opportunities.
Furthermore, Emmanuel and Sue shared their key takeaways from the ISSB’s December board meeting. The ISSB discussed the international
applicability of the SASB Standards, the ISSB’s agenda consultation and the IFRS
Sustainability Disclosure Taxonomy.
Finally, they spoke about the ISSB’s priorities for 2024.
The first joint board meeting of the ISSB and IASB will take place in

ISSB’s agenda consultation about a potential project for further integration in
reporting.
