The road to COP26: Understanding climate change in Asia and beyond

This episode looks at climate risk in Asia, and across the globe, with a view towards the COP26 meeting in Glasgow. Wai-Shin Chan, Global Head of Climate Change at HSBC, and Alex Lupis, Global Head of Global Investor Access and Global Co-Head of ESG Sales for HSBC, discuss why COP26 is so critical to the global response on climate change, the various challenges faced by developed and developing economies, and the role that finance has to play in mitigation and adaption.

 

This podcast features a segment from the recent event FT Climate Capital: The Future of Climate Finance, where Wai-Shin joined other experts on ‘The climate risk and response in Asia’ panel. Panellists discussed the many physical risks climate change poses in Asia, and how what Asia does to reduce emissions is of vast importance for the rest of the world.
