From 8 – 10 July, IETA’s Asia Climate Summit (ACS 2025) brought over 850 leaders from government, business, and civil society to Bangkok to shape the Asia-Pacific region’s net zero journey.
Against the backdrop of rapid market growth and evolving regulations, discussions focused on scaling Article 6 cooperation, boosting climate finance, strengthening VCM integrity, and advancing solutions in CDR, AI, CBAM readiness, and nature-based strategies.
Our new ACS report captures key insights from the event, including:
- How businesses are keen to see greater collaboration and integration among Asia’s emerging carbon markets.
- A movement towards greater convergence between the voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
- The need for capacity building and clear policy guidance to make this happen.
