The COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow sought to rally global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and achieve a 1.5 degree Celsius temperature drop needed to fight climate change. Correspondingly, governments and international financial institutions, such as the Asian Development Bank, are stepping up their climate commitments, but significant implementation challenges remain, particularly in fast-growing, highly climate-vulnerable developing countries in Asia and the Pacific.
Join us at the 2021 ADBI Annual Conference and explore the next steps for climate change mitigation and green finance policy in #AsiaPacific.
