Turning Green Port Priorities into Practical Investment Decisions

At the Asia and the Pacific Transport Forum 2026, ACGF shared insights from its wider green ports knowledge work to help inform the ADB Green Ports Toolkit, which was under development as a resource to help ports assess current conditions, identify priorities, and consider practical next steps. The session featured global port case studies and an interactive exercise using a simulated port scenario, demonstrating how the toolkit could be applied across different operating environments.

Supporting Indonesia's Sustainable Capital Market Roadmap

With technical assistance from ADB through ACGF and its partners, the Green Climate Fund and the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Indonesia's Financial Services Authority launched the Indonesia Sustainable Capital Market Roadmap 2026-2030.

Dry Bulk Cargo Ports: Managing Dust, Runoff, and Emissions

ACGF convened the sixth session of ADB's green and resilient ports webinar series on Dry Bulk Cargo Ports: Managing Dust, Runoff, and Emissions, hosted through ADB's Southeast Asia Development Solutions and Development Asia platforms. The session explored practical approaches and real-world insights to help ports handling dry bulk cargo manage dust, runoff, and emissions, particularly in Southeast Asia, where port operations are often located close to communities and environmentally sensitive areas.

Mobilizing Capital for Local Government Finance

ACGF launched the report, Mobilizing Capital for Local Government Finance in Asia and the Pacific Through Green, Social, and Sustainability Bond Markets, through an Indonesia Development Talks webinar. ADB's Indonesia Resident Mission hosted the event in partnership with Indonesia's Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs. Developed under the GSS+ Initiative, the report examined how GSS+ bonds, project preparation, and stronger pipelines could help local governments access long-term, cost-efficient financing. The report was supported by the PRC Poverty Reduction and Regional Cooperation Fund and ACGF, through contributions from the Green Climate Fund and the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
