The program concluded with a discussion led by ASPI on potential approaches for an Energy Transition Finance Mechanism under India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (#CCTS), followed by an exchange on lessons from the European experience that could help inform India’s evolving carbon market architecture.
Thank you to all speakers, participants, and partner organizations for a valuable week of dialogue and exchange!

Biopharma is one of the only areas where U.S.-China ties are growing, even as both sides tighten controls and competition intensifies. CCA’s latest analysis examines why getting this balance right matters more than in almost any other sector of the rivalry.

Over the first two days in Berlin, participants engaged with experts from DEHSt, Fraunhofer ISI, BMUKN, Forschungszentrum JĂĽlich, ICAP, KEI, and BASF on the evolution of the EU and German ETS, carbon finance mechanisms, Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs), and funding instruments supporting industrial transformation.

Discussions also examined global carbon market developments and emerging lessons for India’s CCTS, while a site visit to CEMEX’s Rüdersdorf cement plant provided a firsthand look at industrial decarbonisation in practice, including the EU Innovation Fund-supported CO2LLECT carbon capture and storage project.
A key takeaway from the first half of the study tour: carbon pricing creates incentives, but dedicated finance mechanisms and technology deployment are often what turn ambition into implementation.

Here is my quick reaction to the Xi–Kim meeting in Pyongyang, along with
@LyleJMorris
and Emma Chanlett-Avery of @AsiaPolicy. It is hard to imagine that Trump’s interest in meeting Kim did not come up in their conversations. But why? To what end? asiapolicy.asiasociety.org/p…

On China's underlying aim, @PhLeCorre argues Beijing wants "to keep the divided Korean Peninsula" intact as long as possible, maintaining the status quo—though "unfortunately for China, they have not been able to stop North Korea."

As the global economy is reshaped by technological, strategic and political change, Asia continues to be an engine for growth.
Good to spend time with the Board of ANZ at Asia Society to discuss opportunities and challenges on the road ahead.
