Ecosperity

Ecosperity Week 2026 has come to a close, but the work to turn climate ambition into action continues.    At the Ecosperity Action Hub, we brought together ideas focused on what it takes to make climate solutions investable and scalable.    Through short practitioner-led sessions complementing the main plenaries, the Hub spotlighted how organisations and businesses are translating sustainability ambition into practical pathways for climate action across the region:   • Data-driven approaches to transition finance    • Frameworks for building climate-resilient businesses    • Standards and mechanisms to decarbonise global aviation  • Achieving climate and social returns in Asia’s agri-food culture sector     Our thanks to our sponsors: Amundi, BlackRock, DBS Bank, Google     As well as our contributors to the Ecosperity Action Hub: Accounting for Sustainability (A4S), A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Carbon Direct, CDP, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Environmental Defense Fund, Future-Fit Foundation, Hyfin, IFC - International Finance Corporation, International Air Transport Association (IATA), Meranti Green Steel, Mirova, MIT Sloan School of Management, Mitti Labs, Prime Minister’s Office, SOSV, South Pole, Sustainable Fitch, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)     Catch up on the Ecosperity Action Hub conversations here: https://lnkd.in/eNFmWr4y    #EcosperityWeek2026 #ClimateInnovation #TransitionFinance #AdaptationAndResilience 

Follow Kyung-Ah Park, Chief Sustainability Officer at Temasek, as she takes you through her day at Ecosperity Week 2026 — from plenary sessions to media interviews, and the moments in between where ideas really start to take shape. This year's theme, "Asia’s Race to 2030: Powered by Innovation, Driven with Intent", is more than a tagline — it's what she's seeing in her conversations throughout the day. 🎥 Watch the video and explore the full programme here: https://lnkd.in/g7pBjHvH #EcosperityWeek2026 #Sustainability #ClimateTransition

Ecosperity Week 2026 has come to a close, but the momentum for collaboration and climate action continues.    Across plenaries, partner events, and candid coffee chats, leaders exchanged perspectives on the forces shaping Asia’s transition, from geopolitics and energy security to breakthrough technologies, policy frameworks, and finance.    The conversations pointed to the work ahead to support practical climate action in Asia and beyond.    A big thank you to our speakers, sponsors, partners, and delegates for contributing their insights this year.    Sponsors: Amundi, BlackRock, DBS Bank, Google   Partners: Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC), Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Bain & Company, BloombergNEF, Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP), Climate Group, Climate Impact X, Convergence Blended Finance, Emerald Climate, FAST-P, Future Energy Storage & System Integration Alliance (FESSIA), GenZero, Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), Global Capacity Building Coalition (GCBC), UN Global Compact Network Singapore, International Energy Agency (IEA), Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), National University of Singapore, Philanthropy Asia Alliance, Principles for Responsible Investment, S&P Global Energy, Southeast Asia Partnership for Adaptation through Water (SEAPAW), SJ Group, Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA), Temasek Foundation, Urban SustaInnovator, The World Bank Group, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development    Catch up on the conversations here: https://lnkd.in/grqcRZ3V  #EcosperityWeek2026 #ClimateAction #Sustainability 

“We are a ‘climate realist’, recognising the realities of global warming while managing the practical trade-offs. We will continue this approach to adopt a long-term perspective and to build up our readiness.”    On Day 2 of Ecosperity Week 2026, Mr Hong Tat Chee, Minister for National Development and Deputy Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), opened the Financing Asia’s Transition (FAST) Conference.    In his address, he outlined three key areas of focus for MAS: catalysing capital for climate outcomes through blended finance and carbon markets, putting in place credible taxonomies and market frameworks to facilitate capital flow, and working with regional partners to strengthen collective resilience across ASEAN.    Watch his speech and tune in to the conversations here: https://lnkd.in/gGWdSb5j    #EcosperityWeek2026 #ClimateFinance #ClimateResilience #Sustainability

At the Financing Asia’s Transition (FAST) Conference, co-organised with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Day 2 of Ecosperity Week 2026, we explored how financing can move sustainability projects from pipeline to deployment, with discussions covering policy initiatives to improve climate project bankability, strengthen infrastructure financing, and mobilise capital for nuclear energy.  A highlight was The Transition Dilemma: Short-Term Returns vs Long-Term Decarbonisation panel, where Kyung-Ah Park, Chief Sustainability Officer, Temasek, moderated a discussion on how asset owners can assess credible transition plans, and apply the stewardship needed to manage difficult trade-offs. The Ecosperity Action Hub further showed how execution is already taking shape, as organisations shared initiatives across sustainable infrastructure investment, adaptation finance, and breakthrough climate tech.

At the opening of Ecosperity Week 2026, Teo Chee Hean, Chairman, Temasek Holdings, addressed the realities shaping Asia’s climate transition. “The Asia-Pacific region is home to some 60% of the world’s population, and accounts for roughly half of global emissions. It is also where much of the world’s future demand, industrial expansion, and infrastructure growth will take place.  How Asia navigates this transition will shape global outcomes. In a more contested and uncertain world, Asia must define its own path – by strengthening resilience, deepening self-reliance, and advancing sustainability.” His message was clear: the real race is against time, not each other. This is the context shaping this year’s Ecosperity Week 2026 agenda. Across the week, we will examine how Asia can strengthen the systems needed for its transition, from electrification and sustainable digital infrastructure to climate adaptation that protects communities, infrastructure, and supply chains.

The energy transition is a race against time, and not against each other.     That was the message to leaders and decision makers from Teo Chee Hean, Chairman, Temasek, in his opening address at Ecosperity Week 2026.    Against a backdrop of global uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, and rising concerns over energy security, he called for deeper regional cooperation built on mutual trust.    For Asia, progress will depend on how well the region connects its resources, technology, manufacturing base, and markets across areas such as electrification, renewable energy, and sustainable digital infrastructure.    Read his full insights here: https://lnkd.in/gU6Pi-Yg    #EcosperityWeek2026 #EnergyTransition #AdaptationAndResilience #Sustainability

AI could reshape Southeast Asia’s growth trajectory, but only if the region builds the right infrastructure to power it sustainably.    At Ecosperity Week 2026, we launched The Dual Transition – AI x Sustainability Series Chapter 1 report, a collaboration between Standard Chartered, Singapore Green Finance Centre, and Ecosperity. The report outlines how Southeast Asia could unlock US$1 trillion in economic value by 2030 via the convergence of AI expansion and enhanced energy security, enabled by the scaled adoption of low-carbon solutions. The report outlines what it will take to turn AI energy demand into a catalyst for ASEAN’s clean energy transition, enabled by the scaled adoption of low-carbon solutions.   The launch was followed by a plenary that explored what this means in practice: how can we meet rising power demand from AI and  data centres reliably, affordably and sustainably?    The discussion underscored the need for a systems approach. As AI-driven demand grows, new data centre capacity will need to be matched by cleaner power, grid-ready infrastructure, storage, and more resource-efficient operations. Panellists also touched on the role of large technology players in helping scale solutions.     Special thanks to our speakers and panellists: Hao Xu, Wan Thonh Chow, Wilson Chung, and Xavier Barbaro.    Read the report: https://lnkd.in/gE_DbpTx   #EcosperityWeek2026 #AI #ResponsibleAI #ClimateInnovation
