Moral Money Summit 2024 - Asia | Financial Times Live | 3 September 2024 | The Westin Singapore, 12 Marina View, Asia Square Tower 2, Singapore 018961

Asia's transition towards a sustainable future is not only crucial for its own development but also has significant implications for global economic growth. Home to half of the world's population, the region also contributes half the planet's carbon emissions and houses populations highly vulnerable to climate change effects.

Despite the abundance of pressing environmental, social and governance challenges, Asia's momentum in sustainable development is strong. This presents huge opportunities around the region's green economy, the increased adoption of ESG practices, leadership in critical clean technologies, and the mobilisation of capital for sustainable financing. How can businesses in the region set serious sustainability targets that reflect its diverse risks, opportunities, and readiness levels?

Join us at this Summit, where we unlock insights, forge partnerships, and ignite progress. The summit will bring together business and government leaders, investors, financiers, multilateral agencies, and leading experts for a two-day program featuring provocative keynote speakers and candid debates about the actions necessary to steer the region towards a more sustainable future.
