New Horizons: The Move to a low Carbon Economy
How the climate change debate is influencing doing business in Asia

Asia today contains 60 percent of the world's entire population and it is estimated in the IPCC's latest report that up to a billion people in Asia could be adversely affected by global climate change. What should Asian businesses do? This session will examine what Asian and global companies are doing to deal with Climate Change and the innovative ways investors, financial institutions and businesses are going about reducing carbon emissions. The session will also examine:


 

What is the future political and regulatory landscape for Asia and how can companies and investors prepare for it?


 

How can private sector investors influence the development and deployment of environmental technology through investment strategies and product development?


 

CAP and-trade and Carbon Exchanges in Asia, when, where and how? What other opportunities are there for Asian companies?

Looking at clean energy funds and investment potentials in Asia?

What is the role of investors and how can investors effectively evaluate exposure?
