This session will focus on the crucial role that natural resources play in balancing the need for growth and development amid a changing climate. Asia’s natural wealth holds immense potential to generate immediate funds to support economic development, facilitate climate transition, and ensure conservation for future generations. Leading regional voices will discuss innovative strategies to incentivize conservation and monetize natural resources into capital. Use of forestry, carbon, and biodiversity credits, for instance, could drive sustainable progress while helping to preserve the environment.
