It is our pleasure to invite you to join ASrIA and our project sponsor, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the British Government, for the Low Carbon Investment in Asia (LCIA) Briefing Event in Shanghai.
We also wish to thank the venue sponsor, Chubb Insurance (China) Company Ltd. for their support of the event.
The briefing is a culmination of an 18-month project implemented by ASrIA to examine climate change issues relevant to investment in select industries in Asia and the implications of moving towards a low carbon economy.
ASrIA will be presenting key findings about the implications of climate change for investors in two new reports:
Sector Findings – examining the key risk and opportunities for low carbon investment in six sectors (Agribusiness, Energy, Finance, IT and Mobile Communications, Property and Construction, and Transportation) in Asia
Analytical Framework Review and Development – providing an integrated look at how investment professionals in Asia can consider climate change in their investment process
These reports incorporate feedback we heard in our one-on-one meetings with investment analysts and fund managers in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mumbai between July and September 2010.
Why investment professionals should attend?
Whether you are a seasoned investor in the low carbon sector or trying to be a climate change “champion” within your organisation, the briefing event will be valuable because it:
Delivers current analysis about climate change strategy and performance for six key sectors in Asia
Frames the discussion into practical considerations faced by institutional investors
Offers you a networking opportunity with others interested in low carbon investing
