ARE’s research-backed analysis and engagement contributed to measurable progress at 12 developing-market ASEAN banks between 2022 and 2025.
Through targeted benchmarking, policy submissions, and direct dialogue, ARE has supported stronger net-zero commitments, coal phase-out strategies, and climate risk disclosure across the region’s financial system.
These shifts did not happen overnight or in isolation. They reflect committed investor-backed engagement and a growing recognition that climate risk is financial risk.
ARE has provided evidence-based analysis and targeted inputs that support banks in translating high-level climate commitments into practical steps. The progress achieved reflects measurable, persistent system-level change and underscores the importance of sustaining momentum.
