About Us
Founded in 2021, Transition Asia is a non-profit think tank dedicated to accelerating decarbonisation in Asia’s materials and heavy industries to achieve the 1.5°C climate goal.
Our Vision
For industries traditionally classified as “hard-to-abate” to be firmly on the pathway to decarbonisation, supporting the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C and paving the way for a sustainable future.
Our Mission
Through analytical industry research and in-depth assessments of corporations’ decarbonisation progress and plans, we provide insights that support evidence-based decision-making. By collaborating with cross-sector stakeholders, including corporates, investors, policymakers and civil society organisations, we foster informed and impactful discussions that drive decisions to support sustainable, low-carbon transitions and a 1.5°C pathway to the future.
Our Impact
Transition Asia has elevated awareness of the materials and heavy industries’ potential to decarbonise by highlighting the role that key companies should play and by underscoring the importance of supportive government policies. Through its work, Transition Asia has demonstrated that achieving 1.5°C-aligned targets is economically and technologically feasible.
We have supported investors and financial institutions by providing data and analysis to complement their decision-making in shareholder voting and company engagement, supporting alignment with climate goals and making investment decisions that drive corporate transitions.
Additionally, we conduct climate-focused discussions with policymakers and key downstream players, including automakers and property developers, to understand their needs and concerns about low-carbon procurement and to collaborate on meaningful decarbonisation action.
