Financial institutions and corporations have shared stake in accelerating climate transition, said Jason Tu, Founder and CEO of MioTech, this is because of the more stringent sustainability regulations that both parties face

At the same time, climate transition planning is becoming more market-driven than regulation-driven, Jason added, concluding from MioTech's engagements with companies in emerging Asian markets. Companies have witnessed how a well-designed climate strategy and governance structure can help them gain resilience against natural disasters and financial turmoil
