From Pilots to Systemic Shifts, Building Bold Pathways
17 Sep 2025, 13:45:00 - 14:45:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 1 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If your climate plan fits in a spreadsheet, it’s too small. It’s time to think in living systems, not silos—because what benefits nature also strengthens your community and your core business.
It’s time to stop tinkering at the edges. This session challenges leaders to go beyond pilot projects and start reimagining entire systems—how we produce, trade, consume, and regenerate. From finance to food, from supply chains to policy, we will surface real-world pathways for scaling climate action and nature-based solutions that honour both planetary health and human dignity.

Extraction to Regeneration: Reimagining the Green and Blue Economies
17 Sep 2025, 16:30:00 - 17:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If today’s extractive industries became tomorrow’s regenerative engines, what would business look like—and are we bold enough to fund that transition?
Green and blue economies are no longer abstract ideals—they are the necessary frameworks for planetary survival and economic renewal. Yet for many business leaders, policymakers, and capital allocators, the question remains: What do these models actually require?

From Carbon to Coherence: ASEAN’s Leap into Regenerative Climate Economies
17 Sep 2025, 15:15:00 - 16:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If carbon is the currency of our time, will we spend it on survival—or invest it in a regenerative future?
Carbon is evolving from a pollution metric to a driver of economic design and investment. In ASEAN, where climate risk threatens up to 11% of regional GDP by 2100, there’s a growing need to shift from offsetting to transforming systems. This high-level plenary convenes changemakers from across the carbon economy: policy architects, technologists, regenerative finance pioneers, and bio-economy innovators.

Financing the Blue Shift: From Pledges to Regenerative Capital
17 Sep 2025, 14:00:00 - 15:15:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
If finance doesn’t flow like the ocean—layered, interconnected, and regenerative—it won’t sustain what sustains us. Can we place those who live and work with the sea at the helm of ocean finance?
The ocean sustains all life on Earth — regulating our climate, feeding billions, and anchoring the entire economies of – yet it remains one of the most under-capitalised frontiers. In 2023, just $25 billion was invested in the blue economy—far short of the $175 billion needed annually to protect and regenerate this vast ecosystem.

Capital at the Crossroads: Financing What the Future Needs
17 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Capital builds futures—but whose future, and at what cost? The well-being economy won’t emerge from better spreadsheets—it will emerge when capital dares to serve life, not just returns.
Money doesn’t just fund the future—it shapes it. In today’s economic system, capital is the first mover. It sets the tone for what grows, what stalls, and what never gets the chance to begin.

From Within to World: Healing the Planet Starts by Healing Ourselves
16 Sep 2025, 14:45:00 - 16:00:00 (GMT+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
What must we unlearn to become truly regenerative? And what new form of leadership will it take to restore both the Earth and ourselves?
As our planet reels from rising temperatures, degraded ecosystems, and resource exploitation, it becomes clear that these crises are not just environmental—they are deeply human.
