Opportunities for Transitions and Decarbonization Pathways in Southeast Asia
30 March 2023
Southeast Asia is estimated to need $210 billion per year for climate adaptation and mitigation investments through 2030. This session at the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) fourth Southeast Asia Development Symposium (SEADS) examined how the region could mobilize transition finance to meet its net-zero goals.
The session was co-organized with ADB's ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility and Climate Bonds Initiative. With the theme, "Imagining a Net-Zero ASEAN," SEADS 2023 explored measures governments, communities, and the private sector could take to progress toward carbon neutrality.
