Building Transnational Finance Power in Asia
How do movements shift the money?
Across Asia, communities and campaigners are challenging the banks, investors and financial institutions financing fossil fuel expansion. But shifting finance across borders requires more than evidence - it requires organising, strategy, relationships and the ability to connect frontline experience with decision-makers and leverage points across the region.
Building Transnational Finance Power in Asia brings together campaigners and movement leaders to share practical stories of how this is being done - from community resistance and shareholder action to campaigns targeting banks, cross-border finance and transition-mineral supply chains.
We’ll explore how evidence and community voices can travel from the places experiencing harm to the financial institutions and companies with the power to act - and what infrastructure, collaboration and movement capacity are needed to make that happen.
