Development in Asia hinges on decisive measures against climate change. The region is grappling with escalating climate disturbances, impacting countless individuals’ well-being, food stability, and health. While governments across Asia have made increasingly ambitious climate pledges to address this, substantial scope remains to accelerate decarbonisation and the transition to a greener economy.

Current and evolving climate technologies offer a promising avenue for Asia to establish itself as a net-zero leader. Reaching carbon neutrality in Asia via these technologies requires global cooperation, attractive climate policies and increased investment. How can Asia mobilise the necessary resources and green technologies to compete in the race to net-zero emissions?

The 2nd edition of the Asia Green Tech Summit, co-hosted by Nikkei and the Financial Times, will once again bring together leading policymakers, financial institutions, climate tech and industry leaders for thought-provoking keynotes and debates to provide critical insights about how climate tech will enable the decarbonisation of Asia.
