About
This hybrid event will be taking place in Yeosu, Republic of Korea, and online globally, as part of the 2026 UN Climate Change Climate Week 3 and Korea Green Transformation (K-GX) Week. It will open with a research presentation on the progress of major Korean companies in their net zero transition, comparing the state of national and corporate climate action in the country with its regional peers. A panel of policymakers, academics and market practitioners will then discuss the findings, with a focus on best practices and policy recommendations for financing the low-carbon transition.
The event is particularly relevant for investors, policymakers and researchers working on corporate climate transition in Asia.
