Description :

As Asia grapples with the climate challenge against geopolitical and economic headwinds, the interplay between scaling up green energy and transitioning to a low-carbon real economy will be critical in determining Asia's transition pathway.

How has regional progress been achieved on this front and what are the roadblocks? With limited funding commitment coupled with pullbacks from developed economies, how can the financial sector play a greater and more immediate role in catalysing the estimated US$1.7 trillion annual investment required for Asia's transition? How do public-private partnerships create the right incentives and risk-sharing mechanisms to accelerate this shift? Panellists will discuss financing mechanisms for diverse investor risk profile, and share insights on aligning capital with Asia’s transition goals to drive immediate, high-impact deployment.
