Environmental Finance Asia 2022 | Environmental Finance | 20 June 2022 | Virtual

Gain insights from leading industry experts into impact investing, ESG data, climate transition, and net-zero finance in Asia.

Some of the key areas of discussion include::
• Climate transition and pathways to net-zero.
• How Asia’s asset owners are investing in transition strategies.
• Creating sustainable investment portfolios – when to exclude and when to engage.
• Latest trends in impact investing.
• Integrating natural capital into impact strategy.
• ESG investment returns – incorporating ESG data into investment decisions.

Climate transition and defining net zero pathways and how to align commitments towards net zero ambition is critical to green finance in Asia.

To commit to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the challenge is on. Access to green capital is crucial for Asia’s transition to a low carbon future.

As taxonomy alignment is developing across the region, what are the challenges and opportunities for investors? Are the priorities of the EU taxonomy in APAC suitable? What areas are investors focussing on? How are Asia’s asset owners investing in transition strategies?

Is enough investment being allocated to decarbonise natural gas? And where is its place in the energy mix?

There has been a surge of capital allocation across the Asia Pacific in recent years and a range of methodologies in reporting. What are the updates in best practice data and reporting?

Covering these questions and more, this event will focus on bringing together investors, asset managers, issuers, regulatory and policy professionals to discuss opportunities and challenges in environmental finance in Asia.

The conference will provide insights, share best practices, and provide an unparalleled online networking platform.
