Asia outlook 2025
What are the key sustainability-related themes that will dominate in 2025? How will geopolitical shifts and other trends impact business decisions on climate? Eco-Business takes a look at the most compelling developments in the region that are on the horizon.
Trump 2.0 may prove to be a "bump in the road" for climate action, but banks and investors in Asia see growth and opportunity in the region for decarbonisation as climate risks grow.
The country is expected to leverage its Asean presidency to drive cooperation in the regional carbon markets. At home, Malaysia is looking to drive down emissions through a climate bill, energy sector reform and fuel subsidy cuts.
As the planet’s number one emitter, there are hopes that renewed policies and reporting guidelines will pave the way for China to peak carbon emissions by 2030. While 2025 signals greener progress ahead, experts say the need to balance energy security interests, however, may see fossil fuels firmly in the grid for longer.
Asia Pacific nations face mounting climate costs as the world crosses the 1.5°C threshold, with extreme weather driving inflation, disaster risks and a US$815 billion annual financing gap for adaptation and resilience.
