Unlocking Capital for Sustainability
What we're talking about
Asia’s economic transformation in recent decades has been unprecedented in pace and scale.
China’s economy has grown 10 times as fast as that of the United Kingdom during its industrial revolution and affected 100 times as many people.But these headline economic success stories mask major fault lines in Asia’s development model.
The region’s future economic growth, stability, and shared prosperity are all under threat from the impact of a swelling list of environmental and social problems. Despite growing awareness on the need to address these challenges, however, the finance sector has been slow to respond.
The financial services sector plays a critical role in achieving sustainable development and addressing climate change, therefore we urgently need to move the needle on finance and help the industry integrate ESG into all aspects of their operations.This February, Eco-Business will be hosting the inaugural event which will ask this key question: How do we unlock capital for sustainability?
