Show Notes

Brief yet comprehensive discussion on current developments in climate finance in mainland China, Hong Kong, in Taiwan. We first touch on the recent evolution of international Environmental and Social Performance Standards related to project financing. We then discuss what international banks require to make a project “bankable”. We talk about some of ERM’s experiences with companies and financial institutions and assess if there is a standard approach or methodology that companies can use on their journey to Net Zero.
