The climate crisis is no longer a matter of ‘if’, but ‘when’. Yet, so little has been done to tackle this. One of the biggest barriers for the private sector to undertake climate action is the vast opaqueness of the landscape. There is a lack of conversation, exploration, and understanding of how to support, fund and scale high-impact climate solutions. Moderated by Yossef Zahar, Climate Finance Advisor at the Stockholm Environment Institute, today’s discussion will unpack how climate financing can be a catalyst to turn a weakening economy around and what it takes for investors and businesses to commit to climate action. Leading practitioners, including Pushkala Lakshmi Ratan, the Asia Climate Finance Lead at the International Finance Corporation, Peiyuan Guo, Chairman of Syntao Green Finance, and Maud Savary Mornet, former Asia-Pacific Director at ResponsAbility, will bring in their perspectives from various sectors.
