McKinsey convened a virtual event for decision makers in Asia featuring the findings of our latest report, The net-zero transition: What it would cost, what it could bring. The research examines the implications for demand, capital spending, production costs, and jobs in sectors that produce 85 percent of overall emissions, with an in-depth analysis of 69 countries. The session explored the implications for Asia Pacific and what it would take to collectively secure a more orderly transition to net-zero by 2050.

Questions explored:

• What levels of spending on physical assets would the transition require?
• How would the transition affect companies’ markets and operations?
• What opportunities and costs are involved for companies and countries?
• How could the transition affect countries, sectors, and communities in the Asia-Pacific region?
• How can leaders finance and smooth the cost of the energy transition across countries and sectors in a way that won’t stifle growth?
