CASA 4×4: Asian Agriculture Climate Finance Summit 2021, co-driven by investor panellists

 
This CASA 4×4 featured key investors who participated in the CASA and Grow Asia-organized Asian Agriculture Climate Finance Summit 2021 on 17 November 2021.
 
The summit was an action-orientated opportunity for innovators, investors and policymakers to come together to explore issues impacting climate investment.
 
The main challenge facing the sector is the small amount of global climate finance is directed towards sustainable agriculture, and private finance in the sector remains stubbornly low. The vast majority of finance remains directed at climate mitigation, particularly in sustainable energy technologies, rather than supporting enterprises and people adapt to the effects of climate change. But there are real opportunities, with new technologies backed by sustainable business models, starting to emerge.
 
In this 4×4, expert panellists from the summit shared their insights on the following four key thematic issues:
 
Mobilizing $100 Billion of climate finance
• Jonny Casey, CABI
• Cedric Rimaud, the Climate Bonds Initiative
 
Working towards Net Zero
