These are our network’s key strategies for delivering the mission.

Investor Practice & Capacity-Building

We build our members’ ability to manage climate risk, providing, capacity building through working groups, peer-to-peer dialogues, roundtables, resources, and masterclasses, and guidance on global climate investment initiatives, including the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, Paris Aligned Asset Owners initiative, and Investor Climate Action Plans.

Stewardship & Corporate Engagement

We ensure institutional investors are engaging with the big emitters across Asia on a level of ambition that aligns with 1.5°C target.

Our key engagement programs are Climate Action 100+ and the Asia Utilities Engagement Program.

Demand for climate progress continues to gather momentum, translating into an ever higher baseline for action.

Time is against us, but we remain optimistic. We must scale our work exponentially and increase our strategic collaborations. Ultimately, we can all realise the benefits that the transition to net zero can bring – for investors, economies, society, and the planet on which we depend.
