A more prosperous, thriving and sustainable future for Asia.
Our mission is to work with a diverse group of partners to build a more prosperous, thriving and sustainable future for Asia.
Achieving this is inextricably linked to ambitious climate action.
Asia is home to some of the world’s most vulnerable ecosystems and populations, already facing the harsh realities of climate change – extreme weather and rising seas among them. At the same time, it is also a major contributor to global carbon emissions, accounting for nearly half of the world’s total.
That’s why, as one of the fastest-growing economic regions and populations on the planet, Asia has a critical role to play in shaping a sustainable future.
Reducing emissions, addressing the most severe consequences of climate change and transitioning to low-carbon economies are not just about mitigating risks. If done right, the just energy transition can unlock opportunities for millions of people, their communities and the economies they are part of, helping usher in an era of new skills, new jobs, new industries and ultimately driving prosperity, where economies, people and the plant can thrive in harmony.
