Governments see that driving corporate action in sustainability and climate technology innovation takes finance, in the form of green bonds, loans, environmental risk assessments, insurance and other financial instruments. Where are the dynamic green financial hubs in the region? What new financial instruments can support the net-zero transition? What factors are improving the availability of green finance in Asia, and which are constraining it? To what extent can sustainable financing drive innovation?
