As Malaysia takes on the Asean chairmanship in 2025 under the theme of ‘Inclusivity and Sustainability’, it does so amid rising global polarisation – marked by rising trade tensions and deepening political, economic and social divisions that threaten to disrupt global supply chains and strain regional relations.
The imperative for multilateral cooperation has never been more urgent, and Asean is uniquely positioned to take a leadership role, particularly in addressing the region’s sustainable development needs and the role it plays in the global landscape.
Asean will require US$1.5 trillion in investments by 2030 to support its transition to a net zero economy and sustainable finance will play a crucial role in realising this vision. The region has made significant strides in expanding green finance offerings, enhancing regional grid connectivity and mandating sustainability disclosure standards, with notable initiatives such as the Asean Common Carbon Framework underway.
As the region continues to invest in connectivity and sustainable infrastructure development, numerous economic opportunities are emerging. However, robust regulatory frameworks are required to ensure the long-term wellbeing of communities while protecting critical natural ecosystems. How will Asean strengthen its frameworks to bridge the trillion-dollar finance gap amid heightened global uncertainties?
Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and 12th Malaysia Plan also outlines an ambitious agenda to rejuvenate the country’s socioeconomic development and to create a low-carbon and resource efficient economy. Amid this evolving landscape, how can policymakers and business leaders best respond to the emerging opportunities?
Join us for Unlocking capital for sustainability 2025 – Malaysia as we convene key decision-makers and stakeholders to explore the solutions needed to implement Asean’s vision for the future.
This is a HRD Corp Claimable Event.
