On 10 October 2026, Climate Finance Network Thailand (CFNT), Greenovation Hub (GHub) and the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI) hosted “Sustainable Finance Pathways: China, Thailand and Southeast Asia” as part of Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026, an affiliated event of the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings.
CFNT and GHub opened the event by sharing preliminary findings from their joint research, China–Thailand Climate Investment and Cooperation: Opportunities, Challenges and Pathways. The research examines the climate-finance landscape, regulatory frameworks and sustainable-finance standards in both countries, as well as opportunities to deepen cooperation in support of the low-carbon transition.
CASI then presented “Scaling Up Cross-border Green Investments between Thailand and China”, exploring the challenges of applying green-finance instruments across borders and practical pathways for turning investment opportunities into completed transactions.
The closing session, “What Got Financed, and What It Took,” brought together experts from the The Thai Bond Market Association (ThaiBMA), Climate Bonds Initiative, CIMB Thai Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Moderated by Thanida Lawseriwanich, Head of Research at CFNT, the panel shared practical experience in issuing and supporting sustainable-finance products.
