AVPN Conference 2019

Sustainable finance has implications for corporations that are deepening their contribution to the SDGs, asset owners who are building a diversified yet sustainable investment portfolio, and increasingly complex public financing of various sizes that are looking for new capital. More guidelines, clarity and capability are needed to allow sustainable finance to thrive. Even for investors with well developed strategies for impact, there continues to be challenges in identifying opportunities.

The AVPN Conference 2019 will provide a cross-sector platform to explore what it will take to grow a vibrant sustainable finance landscape in Asia.

There is an urgent need to galvanize the entire social sector in Asia-Pacific on environment and climate change. At the AVPN Conference, the widest possible range of stakeholders will be brought together to discuss how to collectively develop the scale, support and investment for solutions on climate action.

More than 1 million child deaths could be averted each year by scaling up proven nutrition interventions. Yet the sector remains a neglected area of global health and development, accounting for less than 1 percent of global foreign aid. Each of these interventions can have life-changing implications across many countries in Asia, however more funding from a variety of stakeholders must be sourced to partner and collaborate on these solutions.
