In a private roundtable at the 2022 Singapore Fintech Festival, leading technologists, chief sustainability officers, large investors, and financial regulators gathered for off-the-record discussions on green financing issues in the Asia Pacific region.
Central to the discussion was a spirited debate on climate leadership. Participants were mainly split into two camps on the parties they believed were best placed to make a difference in green financing: asset owners or regulators. That said, there was broad agreement that all parties can make meaningful contributions to green initiatives worldwide, regardless of their financial clout.
The roundtable was the third in a series the Milken Institute and Elevandi convened in 2022, with the first in July at the Point Zero Forum in Zürich and the second in September at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore.
