Asia & the Pacific

Our focus in the region

We help build legal frameworks to address climate change, accelerate the transition to clean and accessible energy, and protect nature.

We work in collaboration with government, the private sector and civil society to support practical solutions to environmental challenges and build a future in which people and planet thrive together.

Asia and the Pacific are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

But the region is also uniquely positioned, as the main driver of global growth and a hub for innovation, to address those challenges and capture the opportunities of the clean energy transition and enhanced natural ecosystems.

We work to accelerate the energy transition across Asia by providing practical guidance in the finance sector to support sustainable finance, strengthening international and cross-sector cooperation on climate action, and developing capacity-building activities to safeguard nature.

Our work in China

Environmental law has a huge role to play in cutting pollution and protecting the natural world. We support the Chinese government to draft new laws, train judges and support environmental groups to bring cases against polluting companies and local authorities.
