Asia investors managing US$33 tril recognise climate risks, but policy conditions are barriers to capital deployment

Asia-headquartered investors recognise coming climate risks, but face significant barriers to setting short- or medium-term climate targets and realigning capital flows at a speed that can mitigate economic and physical damages. 

This is according to data analysed by the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC), which surveyed climate practices of 183 Asia-headquartered investors with US$33 trillion ($43.95 trillion) in assets under management (AUM).
