#ASEAN’s energy future depends on integration — but #financing remains the gap. Dive deeper into the recommendations on our blog: ccsi.columbia.edu/news/financi... @climate.columbia.edu #ASEANDay

This blog is the first in a three-part series I'm writing for the @sabincenter.bsky.social and @ccsi-columbia.bsky.social on sustainable finance metrics that better evaluate corporate climate risk, opportunity, and impact, and make metrics more relevant to financial decision-making.
