As the world grapples with the threat of Covid19 over the last 18 months, climate change continues to pose significant risks to our environment, health and livelihoods. And it’s important for countries and corporates to act now before this crisis turns into a lost battle for mankind.

At Bank of Singapore, Asia’s Global Private Bank inaugural #sustainabilitysummit, I had the honour to engage with leaders from the public and private sectors who shared their knowledge and expertise on the urgent climate agenda. 

I had enjoyable discussions with Yu-Ning Hwang, chief planner Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) and Chee Kiong Goh , CEO, Charge+ On Singapore’s push towards a sustainable city, and how urban planning and electric vehicles can contribute to our urban sustainability transformation. 

Rounded it up with an investor-focused panel featuring experts, Braydon Barcham, CFA (BOS), Lupin Rahman (PIMCO) and Yi Du (Pictet Asset Management) – they highlighted key green opportunities in #Asia, emerging vs developed markets and took our viewers through different sustainable investing approaches that could feed well into global climate solutions. 

All in, a green summit of enriching content that I was proud to be a part of. #sustainablefinancing #greenfinance
