Transition finance in Asia is gaining momentum as a key mechanism to support the decarbonisation of high-emission sectors, particularly in a region highly reliant on carbon-intensive industries. There is now a growing effort to align taxonomies and frameworks to enable better access to capital markets for transitioning companies.
The potential for transition finance in Asia is massive, with estimates suggesting a global transition finance gap of US$4 trillion annually. But several challenges remain, including investor hesitancy in investing in 'dirty' assets and uncertainties in the technological solutions required for large scale decarbonisation, as well as the uncertain global geopolitical environment.
In this panel dialogue – organised as part of Eco-Business's Sharpening the ESG Focus 2025 masterclass – we convene experts to discuss the risks and opportunities in the sustainable finance landscape for 2025 and beyond, its implications for businesses in Asia, and deliberate how net zero commitments will continue to play out in the region.

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.
