What AIGCC does

AIGCC (Asia Investor Group on Climate Change) is a not-for-profit membership network that connects institutional investors across 11 Asian markets — China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan ROC, Thailand, and Vietnam — to address climate-related financial risks and opportunities. The organization represents 80+ member institutions with combined assets under management exceeding $30 trillion, serving asset owners (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers), asset managers (including sovereign wealth and fund managers), and associate members such as investment consultants and service providers. It is the Asian arm of the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC), operating under the same Australian legal entity (ABN 15 519 534 459, established 2005) but as a distinct regional network headquartered in Singapore.

AIGCC's core products center on collaborative engagement and capacity building rather than proprietary technology. The portfolio comprises the Online Climate Change Training Program (self-paced modules covering TCFD scenario analysis, corporate engagement, and deforestation risks), the Asian Utilities Engagement Program (engaging 23 investors with $13 trillion AUM on nine power utilities across five markets), Climate Action 100+ implementation in Asia (engaging 37 listed companies), ten specialized working groups covering asset owners, energy transition, policy, physical risk, forestry, just transition, and country-specific themes, plus masterclasses and the annual State of Investor Climate Transition in Asia report. The 2030 Strategy, published in early 2026, frames the multi-year agenda, and the inaugural AIGCC Summit in May 2026 in Singapore established a flagship event channel.

The business model is funded through tiered, recurring annual membership fees from Full Members, supplementary fees from Associate Members, sponsorship partnerships (including Thought Leader, Regional Leader, and Expert Contributor tiers for the Summit), philanthropic grants, and partnership funding from peer networks and UN-affiliated bodies such as UNEP-FI. AIGCC is governed by a non-executive board comprising member representatives and shares a CEO (Rebecca Mikula-Wright) with its sister network IGCC. The organization co-founded the global Climate Action 100+, Net Zero Asset Managers, and Paris Aligned Asset Owners initiatives and contributes to The Investor Agenda alongside peer networks IIGCC (Europe), Ceres (North America), PRI, and CDP.
