Climate finance plays a vital role in driving the global low-carbon transition. Reflecting this year’s “Finance COP” theme, there is an urgent need to expand climate finance on a global scale to accelerate the low carbon transformation across more markets. Asia’s role in this process is crucial due to the region’s substantial economic and population growth, along with a significant reliance on fossil fuels and hard-to abate sectors. This dependency also underscores Asia’s potential to emerge as a model in global climate finance by expanding financial support and fostering innovative investment tools to expedite the transition both from the public and public sectors. 

However, this structural transformation demands groundbreaking changes. By adopting innovative financial models and tools, alongside close public-private partnerships, we can create financial solutions that multiply the low-carbon capital. The question remains: How can we accelerate the development of these solutions? What challenges do we face? How can we foster more effective public-private partnerships? And how can we replicate successful cases? This event aims to address these questions, leveraging the unique opportunity at COP to inspire Asia with insights gained through international discussion.
