ASEAN’s Progress to Climate Resilience: From Frameworks to Finance
Wednesday, May 20; 2:00-3:00 PM
Level 5, Ballroom M
This event will convene policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, capital providers, NGOs, academics, and government representatives during Ecosperity Week 2026 to examine how ASEAN can move from resilience frameworks to finance at scale. As climate impacts intensify across Southeast Asia, the session will explore how the region can better translate adaptation and resilience priorities into investable opportunities, supported by stronger policy frameworks, sustainable finance taxonomies, and market standards.
Hosted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, with support from UNEP FI and Climate Policy Initiative, the event will bring together public and private sector perspectives on the current state of resilience and adaptation finance in ASEAN. Discussions will consider the role of tools such as the ASEAN Taxonomy’s Mitigation Co-benefit and Adaptation for Resilience Guide, alongside the practical challenges of building bankable pipelines, engaging investors, and integrating physical climate risk into financial decision making.
CPI will play a central role by showcasing its work to develop market-ready opportunities and strengthen regional capacity to mobilize private finance for climate and resilience investments. Through examples of adaptation-focused financial vehicles relevant to Southeast Asia, CPI will highlight how early-stage project ideation, technical support, and targeted financial structuring can help bridge the gap between resilience needs and scalable investment opportunities.
Investment Dialogue: Bridging Policy and Capital, Accelerating Subnational Climate Finance
Thursday, May 21; 8:00–10:00 AM
Subnational governments are essential to delivering global climate goals, yet capital flows for local climate action remain insufficient, fragmented, and largely reactive.
This closed-door dialogue will bring together subnational leaders, financial and development institutions, philanthropies, and civil society to explore how enabling policy environments, stronger project pipelines, and targeted financial instruments can unlock investment and accelerate climate action at scale.
CPI Director Tiza Mafira will participate in this event.
Cool solutions: Charting practical pathways for smarter efficiency in Asia Pacific
Thursday, May 21; 11:30 AM-1:30 PM
Artic Room
The session will focus on cooling and energy efficiency across Asia Pacific, exploring practical pathways to improve efficiency in the region. The discussion will cover policy barriers, potential solutions, regional case studies, and the need for stronger energy performance standards.
CPI’s Ira Purnomo, Senior Analyst, will participate as a presenter, contributing CPI’s perspective on policy approaches to cooling and energy efficiency, including how stronger standards and enabling frameworks can help accelerate smarter, more efficient energy use across the region. Ira has confirmed his participation and registered for the Summit.
Roundtable: What Will It Take to Scale Waste Methane Action in Asia?
Thursday, May 21; 1:30-3:00 PM
Methane is one of the fastest levers available this decade to slow warming, yet it remains widely underestimated and underreported. Across waste, agriculture and energy systems, methane represents both wasted resources and avoidable pollution.
Convened through the Subnational Methane Action Coalition, this roundtable will bring together subnational governments, delivery partners and private-sector actors to explore practical pathways to accelerate waste methane reductions and enable scale across Asia-Pacific before 2030.
CPI Director Tiza Mafira will participate in this event, which is part of the Climate Group Asia Action Summit.
