Asian markets saw increased climate investment in 2021

The inaugural Asia Sustainable Finance Forum (ASFF) 2022, co-organized by a consortium of institutions including Stanford, brought together people in academia, industry and policy to work toward global net-zero transitions — negating greenhouse gas emissions for better climate health — in Asian economies. The event took place in Seoul, Korea, on Mar. 23.

After the developed world’s $100 billion commitment to help developing countries fight climate change fell short, last year’s surge in private-sector climate financing in emerging markets opened up a new avenue for change.

With the importance of financing in mind, BloombergNEF’s head of APAC Research Ali Izadi discussed the group’s capital investment findings from their annual New Energy Outlook report during the forum.

Fidelity Asian Values Plc (LON:FAS) provides shareholders with a differentiated equity exposure to Asian Markets. Asia is the world’s fastest-growing economic region and the trust looks to capitalise on this by finding good businesses, run by good people and buying them at a good price.
