Net Zero Spotlight: Sustainable Development in Asia
Synopsis:
This session brings together key thought leaders and innovators to explore the crucial role of technology in advancing sustainable development across the region. We'll delve into the technological needs from a multiple perspective to accurately measure and report on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the strategies to combat greenwashing, and the mechanisms to foster widespread adoption of these technologies among various ecosystem players.
The conversation will also cover the challenges that could hinder the successful implementation and prevalence of such technologies in Asia, alongside the potential for technology to drive comparability, consistency, and transparency in environmental data. From Terraformation's unique approach to fostering the green transition through reforestation to the broader implications of investing in sustainable technologies versus immediate action like purchasing offsets, our panelists will provide diverse insights into how we can effectively contribute to a greener economy today and into the future.
Discover the innovative solutions at the forefront of Asia's fight against climate change, the importance of trees as an asset class in the green transition, and the critical balance between investing in the future and making impactful changes now. This discussion is designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and perspectives needed to navigate the complexities of sustainable development, highlighting the technologies and collaborations essential for a greener future in Japan and Asia
