Climate Action
Unlocking capital into climate action
Vision
Connecting unusual allies in climate action
The Climate Action Platform aims to unlock capital in a more targeted and effective manner into climate solutions. We create an effective way for AVPN members to improve their practices and champion thought leadership by sharing lessons, knowledge, and solutions. We connect diverse allies in climate action to move more capital towards maximum impact.

Scaling Domestic Climate Philanthropy in India
Climate Action Series
Existing climate finance volumes are insufficient to meet the current climate goals in India, and will need to be supplemented with budget revenue, international climate finance and private investments. AVPN will convene a series of events to galvanise more action in the philanthropic sector within the region.
SUSTAINABILITY DIALOGUE SERIES
Surfacing cutting edge solutions and sustainable business practices
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) is a concept familiar with most businesses and financers and its importance is expected to continue growing as Asian governments are setting up national plans, ambitions and regulations for a low-carbon future as part of the Paris Agreement and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
