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
