outcomes of thesession

Following the adoption of the Glasgow Climate Pact at COP26 and subsequent
wave of political pledges made by the Heads of the States to pursue long-term net
zero emissions, many Parties are striving to create domestic enabling
environment that ensures steady implementation in the context of sustainable
development and national circumstances.

Implementation and delivery of emission reductions is more than just policy
maker’s domain – it requires engagement of wider range of players in society,especially private sector as the agent of implementation, and development
financing institutions as the catalyst of such delivery. In this context, the Means ofImplementation (MOI), especially finance and implementation capacity, remains
to be the key theme to facilitate transition to implementation.
This session sheds light on dynamic and rapidly growing Southeast Asia, andinvites key speakers from development financing institutions, private sector,
banking institution, and government officials from the region to deep dive into incountry efforts currently being made, and collectively discuss the following
aspects of implementation.
- In-country experiences and state of play for private sector engagement andinvestment for net zero
- Role of banking sector, development financing institutions, governments
