Milltrust International Group
, the investment house, has launched the Climate Impact Asia Fund, working alongside Environmental Investment Services Asia and WWF-Hong Kong. 

The fund, aiming to raise $500 million, invests in Asian-listed companies deemed to be helping counter climate change, such as those working in areas of renewable energy, environmental services, water treatment and distribution, low-carbon transportation and energy management services.

The managers of the fund say that the Asia-Pacific region is responsible for almost half of global carbon dioxide emissions, and is the region most exposed to climate risks. 

“The region houses significant opportunity to invest in world leading companies working on climate impact solutions,” it said.

WWF-HK serves as the environmental consultant to the fund and is a member of the Investment Advisory Committee.
