Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #climate finance
There are many proven ways to protect people and assets from extreme weather, and such measures often prevent economic losses worth many times their cost. But ensuring their implementation requires making them more affordable and creating innovative revenue mechanisms and financing structures.
The first report card on the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal framework was issued at this year’s UN Biodiversity Conference in Yerevan, and the marks were dismal. The problem is not a lack of targets, but a global financial system that pays to destroy nature and penalises those who protect it.

Nature can’t wait
Although the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine are spurring governments to increase spending on defence and focus more on economic growth, it would be a mistake to postpone investments designed to protect nature. In fact, meeting internationally agreed targets could add up to US$450 billion to annual global GDP by 2050.

As climate risks, energy transition and shifting market expectations reshape the business environment, Malaysia’s ability to compete will increasingly depend on how quickly its companies can adapt.
