While the Group of Twenty (G20) countries are committed to the United Nations Conference of the Parties’ Agreement goals, these countries are also large greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters, and many countries are highly vulnerable to climate change. Many of them face huge financing gaps to support climate mitigation action and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 or a little after, while their economic growth potential is high, and their populations keep growing. These countries are at diverse stages of economic development and implement diverse climate finance strategies, while having a growing energy demand. Using Asia as an example, this policy brief will focus on the merits of climate- related information disclosure to scale-up private climate finance, and to support low- carbon development. The policy brief will present the development of climate disclosure in Asia, identify challenges and opportunities, and offer a roadmap and recommendations applicable to the G20 countries.
