Responding to Asia’s clean energy imperative
Asia creates more than half of global coal-related emissions, projected to grow by 3% annually. Reaching net-zero by 2050 requires a dramatic shift in how clean energy solutions are financed, sourced and implemented.
Chinese engagement, in technology, green finance and international initiatives, plays a key role in shaping this transition.
GEN-A is a neutral platform connecting partners, bridging knowledge gaps, and promoting informed policymaking through strategic collaborations with Chinese partners and global stakeholders.
We bring together regional leaders to:
- accelerate Asia’s green energy transition
- strengthen engagement with China on green energy
- maximise opportunities while safeguarding governance, sustainability and long‑term resilience.
Our focus is on practical solutions to key challenges, including:
- green finance
- governance
- regional collaboration
- fossil fuel retirement.
