Private-Public-Philanthropic Partnerships for Climate Action in Asia

23 September 2025 The Knickerbocker Hotel, New York City United States

    About the Event

    Asia is home to over half the world’s population and some of the fastest-growing economies, yet remains significantly underfunded in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.


    With traditional sources of climate finance under pressure, this closed-door breakfast session will spotlight Asia’s pivotal role in the global climate agenda and the potential of private–public–philanthropic partnerships to tackle the region’s pressing and interconnected environmental challenges.


    The session will gather senior representatives from philanthropy, government, NGOs, academia, and the private sector to examine how multi-sector collaboration can mobilise capital for climate action and resilience in Asia.


    Participation is by invitation only. For enquiries, please contact [email protected].
