Future Proofers: Brown to Green to Gold – Opportunities in Asia’s climate transition

Synopsis: 

Asia’s transition to a low-carbon economy spells unprecedented opportunities for the able and ready. The region, which accounts for half the world’s carbon emissions, will foreseeably step up to play a bigger role in the global decarbonisation journey despite evolving geopolitical dynamics.

In this process, how can key stakeholders navigate their value capture strategies to ensure the right balance between profit, people, planet and purpose, sustainably?  This panel brings together eminent policymakers, technologists and financiers to discuss these intriguing issues and explore our options forward for driving Asia’s transition.  

• Global decarbonisation pathways under the new American administration 
• What does transition entail for Asian economies, with its largely upward growth trajectory in the foreseeable future.
• As Asia steps up to advocate for its own decarbonisation needs and pace, how can stakeholders identify new windows of opportunities and manage the external messaging accordingly?
• Local context – different countries have different circumstances and needs, how can nations work together to address common pains while respecting idiosyncrasies.
• New norms, business segments and methodologies which may emerge in the process – and are we ready for them?
