From April 27–29, Tokyo will host SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, bringing together 700 startups and 60,000 participants to explore the future of sustainable cities.

One of the core themes this year is Resilience.

Expect to see:

• Disaster risk identification using small SAR satellites
• 3D construction printing technologies supporting reconstruction
• Infrastructure tours showcasing flood-control systems
• Fusion energy engineering innovations
• Robotics and AI applications supporting urban systems

The event will also convene global city leaders through the G-NETS Leaders Summit to discuss solutions to shared urban challenges.

As climate risks intensify across Asia and globally, platforms like SusHi Tech Tokyo are increasingly important in connecting technology innovation with urban resilience and sustainability strategies.

CarbonWire will be following developments closely.

The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) has issued a public letter urging the Australian Government to reform and strengthen the programme rather than repeal it.

The context is clear. Australia’s 2035 emissions reduction targets will require large-scale private sector investment. High-integrity carbon credits, alongside deep emissions reductions, remain part of that equation.

The policy challenge is maintaining integrity and consumer protection while preserving incentives for voluntary climate action.

If Climate Active is discontinued without a robust alternative framework, what signal does that send to corporate decarbonisation efforts?

Ev Dynamics (Holdings) Limited has partnered with Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of SANY Group) to accelerate the deployment of zero-emission bulk logistics solutions across China’s western coal transport corridors.

Coal logistics remains a major contributor to freight-related emissions. This collaboration focuses on electrifying heavy-duty transport through electric trucks, intelligent fleet management, and integrated charging and battery-swapping infrastructure — supported by a Transport as a Service (TaaS) model that lowers financial and technological barriers for operators.

By shifting from diesel-based fleets to service-led electric logistics, the partnership highlights how system-level solutions — not just vehicles — are critical to decarbonising heavy transport at scale.

Carbon Wire sat down with Dr. Handoko Limaho, CEO of Hutan Kencana Group, to discuss his bold journey from the palm oil sector to leading one of Indonesia’s largest private restoration efforts – the PLUM Project, a 23,665-hectare peatland and mangrove initiative in Central Kalimantan.

✅ Over 60 million tonnes of carbon expected to be reduced or removed over the project’s lifetime
✅ Forest fires cut by 95% since 2022 through community-led patrols
✅ Villages achieving “open defecation free” status and significantly reduced stunting rates
✅ Coffee and honey farmers gaining access to new markets and recognition from local government

Dr. Limaho’s story is one of conviction, resilience, and proof that the private sector can be a catalyst for regenerative landscapes — aligning profitability with climate impact, biodiversity protection, and community well-being.

In an exclusive conversation with Jahnavi Iyer of Carbon Wire, Neelesh Agrawal, CEO of Calculus Carbon, shared how the firm is helping bridge the capital gap for large-scale nature-based solutions (NbS) projects across Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

From treating NbS like long-term infrastructure assets to navigating regulatory complexities and shifting investor sentiment, Agrawal explained how institutional investors are increasingly backing high-quality NbS projects. He noted that:

🔹 The real growth in demand is coming from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, rather than the US.
🔹 Investors today demand robust proof of viability before backing projects—making the market more resilient.
🔹 Pre-financing NbS projects is becoming more common, setting the stage for greater involvement from banks, sovereign wealth funds, and infrastructure capital.

👉 Read the full interview to learn how Calculus Carbon is building confidence and scale in NbS finance, helping unlock climate impact while ensuring returns for institutional investors.

At Carbon Wire, we recently spoke with Kevin W F Lee, Group Head of Sustainability at CGS International Securities Singapore, about how financial institutions in ASEAN are navigating the sustainability agenda.

Key takeaways from the conversation:

🔹 ASEAN still lags behind Europe and the US, with ESG assets under management at just 3–5% — but this gap represents a huge growth opportunity.
🔹 CGS International’s ESG Integration Framework is embedding sustainability into brokerage, investment banking, and asset management, directing capital towards renewables and social outcomes.
🔹 Incentives such as preferential lending rates are proving more effective than regulation alone in driving corporate adoption.
🔹 Transition finance and carbon markets — including transition credits to phase out coal in Indonesia — are gaining traction across the region.
🔹 Beyond climate, CGS International is investing in diversity, education, and financial literacy, building internal capacity and training future leaders on ESG.

As Kevin highlighted, the challenge for many companies is moving beyond “ticking the boxes” to truly integrating sustainability into their business models. The opportunity for ASEAN is clear: to transform ESG from a regulatory burden into a long-term driver of value creation.

At this year’s COP29 in Baku, delegates reached a key milestone in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions by fully adopting the framework for Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. While this agreement has massive potential to stimulate global climate action, it will require a careful implantation to ensure the system’s effectiveness, equity and sustainability.

The model of international collaboration enabled by Article 6 is especially attractive to city-states such as Singapore which face unique challenges in reducing their carbon footprint due to the combination of a developed economy, high population density and limited spare land, says Christopher Lilholm, Global Head of ESG and Sustainability Services, DNV in this article in Carbon Wire.

At this year’s COP29 in Baku, delegates reached a key milestone in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions by fully adopting the framework for Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. This decision paves the way for a UN-governed international carbon market, creating a new mechanism for providing ...

Grid modernisation is focused on transforming the current electrical energy infrastructure to meet the demands of the 21st century and beyond. This change of the grid and energy industry is complex and ongoing. Collaboration between utilities, technology companies, policymakers, and consumers is essential to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by grid modernisation. Key to this transition will be the integration of multiple technologies into the energy grid.
