This event allows participants to understand how the Asia-Pacific Green Deal for Business brings together private sector sustainability champions like leading corporates and financial institutions, to enable MSMEs towards climate action. Participants at the event will learn how businesses can use the new Green Deal live digital platform and tools to track, report, and analyze their climate action initiatives, and in turn creating change in the real economy. Participants will gain a broad perspective of how the Green Deal already links together private sector sustainability champions and MSMEs through technological solutions and generate synergies and positive results.
