Second Roundtable of the ADB Institute-ADB Asian Climate Finance Dialogue

Resource Description

This resource summarizes the second ADBI-ADB Asian Climate Finance Dialogue roundtable, focused on corporate climate disclosure, TCFD and ISSB adoption, and Scope 3 emissions challenges in Asia.

Why This Matters

Strengthening climate disclosure in Asia is key to aligning finance with sustainability goals and meeting rising global reporting expectations.

Key Insights

  • Many Asian economies are planning phased adoption of ISSB and TCFD standards, often starting with listed or sector-specific firms
  • Scope 3 disclosure remains difficult due to data complexity, supplier engagement, and limited resources
  • Voluntary disclosure dominates, with few mandates for transition plans or scenario analysis
  • Efforts include training, incentives, and platforms to support SMEs and non-listed firms
  • Capacity building and stakeholder collaboration are seen as essential to improve disclosure quality
