The former US vice president said the economics of clean energy, rising climate risks and China’s growing role are accelerating the energy transition despite political turbulence.
Experts warn louder sustainability messaging in Asia could deepen greenwashing risks, while shifting business priorities and consumer realities are also pushing “green” claims out of the spotlight.
This year, ‘greenrinsing’ – shifting climate targets after luring investment – cast a shadow over corporate decarbonisation efforts, while fossil fuel firms leaned on carbon capture technologies to justify ongoing expansion and promoted natural gas as "clean".
A study of local businesses by UN Global Compact finds a three-year downward trend in transparency on sustainability goals. Three in four Singaporean firms have delayed targets or made revisions, but most say sustainability remains a priority.
