2025 marks a critical year for climate. COP 29 - which marked the first ever ‘Finance COP” failed to close the widening climate funding gap for developing nations most vulnerable to climate change. As geopolitical tensions rise, businesses need to brace themselves for an increasingly complex operating landscape.
As Asia’s leading convener on news and views on ESG and sustainable development, Eco-Business’s journalism and intelligence teams aim provide a bird’s eye view on the issues we expect to gain further traction in 2025. In particular, ISSB regulations, greenwashing risks and taxonomies, nature finance, geopolitics, and the growth of the ESG ecosystem.
All eyes were on the COP29 negotiations this year for countries to come to a consensus on the new climate finance target post-2025 to help developing countries implement climate mitigation and adaptation measures and build up to their Paris-aligned ambitions. A total of USD $300 billion a year was decided, triple the annual target last set in 2009, with a goal of ratcheting up to USD $1.3 trillion by 2035, calling for diverse investments from both public and private finance.
Asia is primed to take center stage, with a significant portion of its economy and population disproportionately affected by climate change. Innovative and robust finance instruments are needed to tackle the complex challenges of decarbonization. Join us to discuss more about the risks and opportunities that will affect your business in 2025, and what the coming year will bring for sustainability.
