A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focused on Thailand was signed with the United Nations for Global Impact (UNGC Thailand<\/a>) to develop financing solutions to support the industry\u2019s efforts to be more sustainable. The objective is to provide them with knowledge and tools to achieve net-zero ambitions and enhance the flow of climate finance to fund climate-related activities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Another MoU signed with\u00a0Climate Works<\/a>\u00a0in turn will provide the same solutions in Indonesia, Vietnam and other key markets in ASEAN to support net zero ambitions. Climateworks Centre is a not-for-profit founded by Monash University (Australia) and the Myer Foundation to bridge the gap between research and climate action. For the past decade Climateworks has played a unique role in Australia\u2019s, Southeast Asia\u2019s and the Pacific\u2019s transition to a net zero future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited about the green opportunities in the Asia Pacific region. There is a tremendous scope for transition across the economy, and investors are keen to finance this transition. They need clarity and confidence that they are backing credible transition efforts that will bring the economy in line with global net-zero targets. Climate Bonds is working to provide this clarity through our criteria for both hard-to-abate sectors and entities focused on decarbonization.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The\u00a0latest report<\/a>\u00a0published by Climate Bonds Initiative reveals that the sustainable debt market in the 6 largest ASEAN economies continued to grow rapidly in 2021 with record issuance of green, social, and sustainability (GSS) debt totalling\u00a0USD24bn<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Thailand emerged as the regional leader in social and sustainability issuances in 2021 and is currently the largest source of sustainability debt, with a cumulative volume of\u00a0USD5.8bn<\/strong>\u00a0by the end of 2021 (38% of the cumulative ASEAN social and sustainability market). The majority of green bond issuances in 2021 continued to come from transport and energy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Despite the clear enthusiasm shown by the market, high-emission and hard-to-abate sectors (especially linked to energy, heavy manufacturing industries and agriculture) must transition from brown to green rapidly in order to make vulnerable regions like ASEAN less exposed to the consequences of climate change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
