Description :

Asia accounts for over half of global greenhouse gas emissions and its contribution is only expected to grow over the next five years. The region faces a daunting task of meeting its nationally determined contributions, let alone the 2030 mid-term goals for the Paris Agreement. It is imperative to accelerate decarbonisation and we must ‘scale the green’ and ‘transition the brown/grey’ without jeopardising growth, energy security, or economic stability.

Panellists will discuss the interplay between policy, solutions, and financing in addressing this challenge. Specifically, how governments, investors and businesses can collaborate to scale priority technologies, build critical infrastructure, and fund the transition. Against a backdrop of geopolitical shifts, how can Asian countries chart their unique decarbonisation pathways?
