While Thailand’s government has invested close to THB4trn (USD120bn) in infrastructure over the past decade, the GIIO Thailand report 2021 (“the report”) highlights that Thailand still faces an infrastructure gap. There is significant room to upgrade its infrastructure quality, with a possible future infrastructure spending gap of up to USD 100 billion by 2040 if the current trend of infrastructure investment is not accelerated. 

The report highlights four key sectors to grow investments in green infrastructure in Thailand: renewable energy, sustainable transport, sustainable water management and sustainable waste management, and also showcases other green investment opportunities in green buildings, smart cities, and coastal management. The report adopts the Climate Bonds Taxonomy to identify potential green infrastructure projects and assets in these sectors. It also argues that Thailand is well positioned to mobilize funding via the capital markets to narrow down the financing gaps in green infrastructure.

Speakers:

- Moderator: Mr. Sean Kidney, CEO, Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI)
- Opening Remarks: Mr. Anouj Mehta, Unit Head of the SERD Innovation Hub and ACGF, and appointed ADB Country Director to TRM
- Report presenter: Ms. Krista Tukiainen, Head of Research and Reporting, Market Intelligence, CBI
- Mr. Paroche Hutachareon, Senior Expert on Bond Market Development at the Public Debt Management Office (PDMO), Ministry of Finance (MoF), Thailand
- Ms. Jomkwan Kongsakul, Assistant Secretary-General, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Thailand

Emissions from the transport sector contribute significantly to deteriorating air quality and human health in cities. India has 6 out of the top ten polluted cities globally, with air pollution affecting most of North India severely and being responsible for the deaths of estimated 1.25 million people annually. Also, transport accounts for 20% of global energy use and contributes 25% to 30% of emissions. There is a need to reduce emissions as climate change poses an existential threat. Besides air quality and emissions, EVs offer energy security and economic opportunities. India is home to 53 cities with a population of over a million. These prerogatives compel India to look at electric mobility options to meet its transportation needs in a sustainable manner. 

The panel brings together expertise in Finance, Consultancy, Manufacturing, Battery Charging & Swapping and policy to throw light on the various aspects. 

Speakers:
- Moderator: Chandrashekar Iyer – Executive Director, Management Consulting Division at Fichtner Consulting

- Dr Rashi Gupta – Managing Director at Vision Mechatronics
- Maxson Lewis – Managing Director at Magenta – ChargeGrid, Power & Infomatic
- Raja Gayam – Co Founder at Biliti Electric Inc.
- Prashant Vaze – Senior Fellow at Climate Bonds Initiative
- Ms Akshima Ghate – Senior Principal at RMI India

Governments play a crucial role in scaling up Green, Social, and Sustainable investments (GSS). Sovereign GSS bonds can attract the investment needed for sustainable development and help achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the 2015 Paris Agreement. In addition, sovereign GSS bonds can also be a tool for economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We invite you to learn about the first Green, Social, and Sustainable Sovereign Bond Survey (GSS) that was based on conversations with 19 sovereign issuers and in which the different approaches and experiences of issuers were explored to allow a broader understanding of this market. Also, you will know the differences in the process of issuing bonds labeled by the private sector and other types of entities were highlighted.

The Consejo Consultivo de Finanzas Verdes (CCFV) and Climate Bonds Initiative join several guests to discuss the report's findings and the opportunities they present for the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) market at this event.

The webinar will also promote the publication of the Spanish translation of the GSS Sovereign Bond Survey report. Please follow the link to the report to know more before the Webinar: https://www.climatebonds.net/resources/reports/sovereign-green-social-an...
