AICB is proud to be a supporting partner of the CASI In-person Capacity-building Event: Empowering Sustainability and Prosperity in Asia, an initiative of the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI)*, which took place from 24 to 28 June 2024 in Hong Kong–Huzhou.

Co-hosted by the Institute of Finance and Sustainability, Hong Kong Monetary Authority IFFO, and the University of Hong Kong, the event was attended by over 300 delegates, who participated in the various in-house workshops featuring six thematic sessions covering topics such as market updates and policy frameworks for sustainable finance, sustainability disclosure, financing green and low-carbon transition in Asia, sustainable projects needed to enhance connectivity and prosperity in Asia, the role of blended finance in decarbonising infrastructure projects, and biodiversity conservation and blue finance. The interactive panel discussions and expert keynote speeches by key figures in the finance and ESG space also provided delegates with a dynamic and immersive learning environment to further understand the potential solutions and capacity for connectivity and low-carbon transitions in the region, with a special focus on Southeast, Central, and East Asia.
