During a spotlight interview in the Economist Impact Sustainability Week Asia in Bangkok, ACEN CEO Eric Francia underscored the need to stay the course despite global policy headwinds and establish frameworks such as transition credits with an ecosystem approach to accelerate climate action.

“While there is quite a bit of headwind sentiment against sustainability, I think we should not lose sight. This is not the time to be demoralized or derailed,” he said.

Eric also discussed how ACEN is accelerating climate action and energy transition through early coal retirement, driven by the world’s first market-based Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM) deal and Transition Credits.
