In addition, emphasis is placed on developing and establishing an engagement platform on Sustianable Finance and ensuring interoperability of taxonomies within ASEAN and between ASEAN and the EU.

The project works in close collaboration with the ASEAN secretariate and financial market actors as well as regulatory authorities to promote sustainable economic development and align financial flows with climate and sustainability goals.
