In early 2010 ASrIA produced a draft sector briefing paper to discuss climate change issues relevant to investment in select industries in Asia, and the implications of moving towards a low carbon economy. This research formed the basis of discussion during one-on-one meetings with investment professionals between July and September 2010.

For the purpose of this project, six key industries in Asia were assessed, namely:

• Information Technology (IT) and Mobile Communications
• Transport
• Property and Construction
• Agribusiness
• Energy
• Finance

Low carbon policies and anticipated regulatory developments in the region are reviewed in relation to these industries, with a focus on China, India, South Korea and South East Asia.
