Taking philanthropy to the next level in Asia can support climate and nature
Over $3 trillion in climate finance is needed to reach net zero by 2050. Philanthropy can help drive private-public capital to catalyze change in Asia.
Yvonne is driving cement & concrete work within the Forum. With the goal to deliver the world with net-zero concrete by 2050, she's working closely with the industry and actors across the built environment value chain to making industrial decarbonization possible. Through radical collaboration together, we can accelerate the transition of these need-to-abate sectors.
Yvonne has a proven track record in high calibre stakeholder management, addressing sustainable development issues within international context. The initiative she's leading within the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is a partnership between the World Economic Forum and Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) to develop clean cement & concrete standards, stimulate demand for cleaner products, and enlarge the circle of progressive companies committing to net-zero targets.

Un nuevo informe muestra cómo los proyectos de construcción pueden descabonizarse utilizando técnicas de diseño y materiales con bajas emisiones de carbono.
Cement emissions from construction projects can be reduced by up to 40% by 2030 using low carbon design techniques and materials; a new report shows how.
The built environment’s costs from CO2 and landfills could reach €230 billion by 2050. Circularity could have a positive financial impact
India is the second-largest market for cement in the world. To reduce emissions, it must look at small-scale residential and large infrastructure projects.
Cement releases a vast amount of emissions. Circularity could help solve this problem by keeping emissions to a minimum while enabling the construction of homes and infrastructure.
A new report profiles six countries taking action to reduce the enormous environmental impact of public procurement of low carbon concrete – but it requires us to go much further
