Pantheon has led the launch of the new Asia Pacific chapter of the Initiative Climat International (iCI), a global initiative that seeks to harness the collective efforts of private market participants to address climate change and accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon global economy.
Members of the iCI form a global, practitioner-led community of private market firms and investors that seek to better understand and manage the risks associated with climate change. Members commit to sharing knowledge, experience and best practice and to working together to develop resources that will help standardize practices on climate risk mapping, disclosure and target-setting in private markets.
Globally, iCI now has 206 members and manages more than $3 trillion of assets.
Jie Gong, partner and co-chair of its ESG Committee at Pantheon, will chair the Asia Pacific chapter of the iCI. Gong was previously a global committee member of PRI’s Private Equity Advisory Commit
