Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
News / #financing
Indonesia plans to rezone large parts of Way Kambas National Park in Sumatra for carbon trading and luxury tourism to raise conservation funds.
The renewable energy resource, which has received loan financing for exploration and early-stage drilling, could help shield the country from energy security risks brought about by the conflict in the Middle East, said Philippine energy secretary Sharon Garin.
The closure is seen as a removal of a dedicated public sector platform for government-led small scale renewable energy projects, reinforcing the tilt toward private driven deployment, says a climate think tank.
The proposed document will unify the central bank and securities commission’s existing taxonomies, as well as align the national sustainable finance taxonomy with Asean's.
