ASFI at COP 28
ASFI will be attending this year’s UNFCCC Conference of the Parties ‘COP28’ and are delighted to be hosting an event on transition finance at the Australian Pavilion in the ‘Blue Zone’ (where the official negotiations take place).
ASFI Panel Event: Accelerating transition finance for climate action
Australian Pavilion, Blue Zone
Saturday 9th December, 4:30 – 5:30pm
Transition activities are activities such as mining and industrial production that are emissions intensive, and need significant capital to decarbonise. The lack of common definitions for transition activities is a major barrier to finance and investment in the emissions intensive economies of the Asia-Pacific (including Australia).
This event will explore the challenges and opportunities of mobilising finance and investment for transition activities.
