The Asia Sustainable Infrastructure Advisory (“ASIA”) Panel, launched at the Asia Infrastructure Forum (“AIF”) in June 2021, will serve as a platform to exchange the latest thinking and best practices on sustainable infrastructure, provide insights and promote opportunities for the private sector to support Asia’s sustainable infrastructure development.

The ASIA Panel (“the Panel”) will be chaired by Minister Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and National Development. The Panel comprises international experts on sustainable infrastructure who will share their perspectives on topics across the entire infrastructure value-chain.

The Panel will hold its inaugural meeting in Singapore, from 5 to 9 November 2021. As part of the meeting, specially curated public discussions covering three themes will be organised. These are:

Future of Infrastructure: Shaping Asia's Sustainability Focus

The Future of Infrastructure Public Discussion will be a platform to uplift the region’s knowledge on key global trends on sustainable infrastructure and highlight solutions that can help meet future priorities for sustainable infrastructure. 

Technology on Infrastructure: Technology to Drive Sustainable Infrastructure 

The Technology in Infrastructure Public Discussion will be a platform to discuss how climate change and digitalisation serve as driving forces for technological innovations in the energy, water and waste sectors.

Sustainable Investment Financing: Increasing Sustainable Finance for Infrastructure in Asia 

The Sustainable Investment-Financing Public Discussion will be a platform to discuss solutions in navigating standards and taxonomies in sustainable financing, as well as meeting the energy transition challenge.

The public discussions will be attended by regional government officials, development finance institutions, private sector organisations, third country officials keen on ASEAN opportunities, institutes of higher learning and media. It will be held via a hybrid format, with approximately 30 participants attending in person, as well as a potentially unlimited number of virtual participants. (Note: using the 2021 Asia Infrastructure Forum organised by Infrastructure Asia, the virtual registrants were around 2000, including 1/3 of registrants at C-suite level).
