Traditionally reliant on high-carbon energy sources, both sovereigns and corporates are adapting to the demands of climate change and energy security, and bond investors have the power to influence their choices. Our analysis of debt issuances, proposals for impactful new structures and portfolio management tools are gaining momentum and will now be propelled forward by our expanded APAC presence.”
