Investor Practice & Capacity Building

We build our members’ ability to manage climate risk, providing;

  1. capacity building through working groups, peer-to-peer dialogues, roundtables, resources, and masterclasses, and
  2. guidance on global initiatives, including the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative and Paris Aligned Asset Owners initiative, and Investor Climate Action Plans.

Net Zero Investment Tools and Frameworks

We support Asian investors to accelerate climate progress, using these recommended practices;

  • enhanced climate change policies,
  • implementing an Investor Climate Action Plan (ICAP), and
  • commencing or expanding climate in line with emerging global standards.
