The Alliance for Green Commercial Banks (the Alliance), in collaboration with the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, is delighted to invite you to our upcoming webinar, “Transition Finance – the Battle will be Lost or Won in Asia.” Transition finance is becoming a crucial element in the global effort to achieve net-zero emissions, particularly for carbon-intensive industries. It is designed to support companies in these sectors as they work to reduce their carbon footprints and implement more sustainable practices. Commercial banks play a vital role in this process by providing the necessary capital and financial products to facilitate these transitions. This webinar will explore the critical role of financial institutions in Asia in driving the transition to a low carbon economy and share the best practices from financial institutes in the region. Join us to gain insights into how financial institutions, especially commercial banks can navigate the complexities of transition finance and contribute to a sustainable future.
