 GenZero Climate Summit Insights 2025: Transition Credits Forum

Home to a rapidly growing population, and the largest number of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), Asia stands at a pivotal juncture. As energy demand continues to rise and fossil fuel dependence endures, the region faces mounting climate and economic risks. Combating climate change in Asia while ensuring a just and inclusive transition that improves the living standards, is a formidable challenge.

Yet within these challenges lies a critical opportunity: transition credits. By strategically leveraging transition credits, we can unlock the financial pathways needed to accelerate the early retirement of coal assets, replacing them with cleaner, more sustainable energy systems. With the right actions and instruments, Asia can reset its course toward a climate-aligned future faster and more equitably.

The GenZero Climate Summit Insights 2025: Transition Credits Forum, organised in collaboration with ACEN and DBS Bank, will convene corporates, financial institutions, and policymakers in Manila, the Philippines, to explore how robust methodologies, innovative financing, and strategic collaboration can build a credible transition credit market.
