Taking philanthropy to the next level in Asia can support climate and nature
Over $3 trillion in climate finance is needed to reach net zero by 2050. Philanthropy can help drive private-public capital to catalyze change in Asia.
Yvonne Leung
Yvonne is driving cement & concrete work within the Forum. With the goal to deliver the world with net-zero concrete by 2050, she's working closely with the industry and actors across the built environment value chain to making industrial decarbonization possible. Through radical collaboration together, we can accelerate the transition of these need-to-abate sectors.
Yvonne has a proven track record in high calibre stakeholder management, addressing sustainable development issues within international context. The initiative she's leading within the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is a partnership between the World Economic Forum and Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) to develop clean cement & concrete standards, stimulate demand for cleaner products, and enlarge the circle of progressive companies committing to net-zero targets.
