Funding Asia’s Transition to a Green Economy
Senior Industry Leaders Shared Their Insights
Asia is home to some of the world’s largest carbon emitters, accounting for 52% of global carbon emissions in 2020. It is also one of the most vulnerable regions to the impacts of climate change. However, Asia’s leading technology sector and an infrastructure network which is not yet fully developed offers unique opportunities for issuers and investors to make a real environmental impact while optimising the use of their funding and investment tools.
