FT Live: Asia’s Climate Change Challenge

The FT-Nikkei’s virtual event Asia’s Climate Change Challenge will be held on 24 November 2021 with a theme of ‘After COP26, what must governments and companies do?’.

CWR’s Debra Tan will be speaking in the first session “After COP26: A blueprint for action for Asia’s policy-makers” 4:05-4:55 pm HKT. Find out more about the agenda here and free register here.

Held after COP26, this event examines the outcome of the conference’s high-level deliberations, with particular reference to Asia, and explores the extent to which the region’s governments, businesses and activists are readying for climate change.

The sessions will gather policy-makers, academics, activists, companies, economists and experts to discuss how to find the right way forward on below:

Government: How will the region’s governments adopt policies? How will climate emergency funding and resources be prioritised?

Businesses: Will allocating greater resources and financing meet decarbonisation goals? What will and can companies do?

Collaboration: Are public and private partnerships the best way forward to reduce emissions? Will climate change be framed as a moral necessity?
