<h1>Global investors unite at COP30-aligned forum to strengthen ESG rules, cross-border disclosure standards, and sustainable finance cooperation</h1> An international responsible investment conference in Brazil, aligned with the COP30 Business and Finance Forum, convened regulators and financial institutions to address legal and regulatory aspects of sustainable finance, particularly ESG integration. A Chinese asset manager highlighted strengthened ESG regulatory frameworks in Asia, including China's progress in policy systems, data accessibility, and asset manager obligations under 'Dual Carbon' goals. A forum on high-growth Asian markets examined regulatory risk and compliance in ESG investing. A side event on China-Brazil cooperation discussed cross-border supply-chain responsibilities and emerging market ESG standards. A Chinese and a Brazilian asset manager jointly released a whitepaper detailing recent legal and quasi-legal developments in sustainability disclosure frameworks, taxonomy standards, and product guidelines in both jurisdictions.
