From Carbon to Coherence: ASEAN’s Leap into Regenerative Climate Economies
Wed 17 Sep 2025, 3:15 pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If carbon is the currency of our time, will we spend it on survival—or invest it in a regenerative future?
Carbon is evolving from a pollution metric to a driver of economic design and investment. In ASEAN, where climate risk threatens up to 11% of regional GDP by 2100, there’s a growing need to shift from offsetting to transforming systems. This high-level plenary convenes changemakers from across the carbon economy: policy architects, technologists, regenerative finance pioneers, and bio-economy innovators. They will explore how carbon can catalyse inclusive growth and ecological restoration. Anchored in the work of ASEAN Green Future, it will highlight real examples of regional collaborations — from interoperable carbon markets and cross-border green grids, to biobased materials and regenerative investments that are turning nature into infrastructure and restoration into economic value.
