About this Event
As Asia continues its rapid economic growth, the region faces the dual challenge of sustaining development while addressing the escalating impacts of climate change. Transition finance has become a crucial mechanism to guide high-emission industries toward a low-carbon future. However, realizing its full potential requires collaborative efforts to enhance capacity across financial systems, institutions, and stakeholders, fostering meaningful and sustainable transformation.
To support these efforts, the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI) will host a one-day forum during Hong Kong's Green Week in September. This forum provides a pivotal platform for advancing capacity-building on sustainable and transition finance across Asia. Building on last year's success, CASI will convene regional and international experts to address the urgent need for knowledge-sharing, skills development, and institutional strengthening.
Co-hosted by CASI, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Infrastructure Financing Facilitation Office (HKMA-IFFO), the HKU Jockey Club Enterprise Sustainability Global Research Institute (HKUJCESGRI), and the CFA Institute, the forum will also be supported by a range of key organizations. This forum will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive sessions on topics such as transition taxonomies, planning, GHG disclosure, and financial product innovation. It will also emphasize transparency and accountability in achieving sustainable outcomes.
This event will offer critical insights into emerging trends, strategies, and financial tools for Asia's low-carbon transition, including in some of the hard-to-abate sectors like fossil fuels, steel, cement, shipping, and agriculture, demonstrating Hong Kong's leadership as a green finance hub.
