Climate change is humanity’s most serious existential threat. It is clear that climate risks are also increasingly becoming a source of financial risks, leading more companies and investors to recognize how real these risks are and that they could lead to untold financial losses. In particular, the real estate sector, which accounts for over 40% of global energy consumption, is facing more location-specific sustainability risks.

As a result, financial institutions, investors and others are including climate-change factors in their financial decision-making. The release of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure recommendations has accelerated this process, boosting the demand for climate-related disclosure.

However, some issuers and borrowers are still struggling to implement the recommendations required, facing barriers like the lack of consistent disclosure and climate data, limited experience in applying scenario analysis to climate change, and ensuring support at the board level for enhanced disclosure.

The Asset Events+, in association with New World Development, is pleased to host this exclusive webinar, Paving the way toward net zero, which brings together top industry experts, issuers, investors and financiers to discuss how Asia's property developers and investors can rapidly adjust to the new landscape.
