Orange Forum 2024: Sustainable Futures through Orange

One thing is clear in the race against climate change: effective climate action and just energy transition cannot happen without women at the forefront. Women and gender minorities have long been on the frontlines of climate action, disproportionately bearing its impacts yet consistently overlooked by global capital markets. Enter Orange Bonds^TM—the world’s first asset class designed by and for the Global South and the 99%, aimed at financing gender equality and climate action. Inspired by the color of SDG 5 for Gender Equality, Orange Bonds mark a transformative step toward a more inclusive and sustainable future. With the potential to unlock US$4.5 trillion in untapped economic power across the Asia-Pacific, Orange Bonds disrupt the narrative of women as passive victims and enable them as critical drivers of climate solutions and economic prosperity.

At Orange Forum 2024 in Singapore, we will celebrate the incredible strides Orange BondsTM – as part of the Orange Movement^TM - has made in setting a global standard for a truly inclusive financial system. This year’s theme, “Sustainable Futures through Orange,” will explore how Orange Bonds^TM offers a groundbreaking pathway for businesses to create sustainable and transparent impact at the last mile, mitigate climate risks, and meet the rising investor demand for DEI and ESG-compliant instruments.

Hosted by the Impact Investment Exchange (IIX), and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), in partnership with the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Eco-Business, the Forum will commemorate the global reach of the Orange Movement^TM and its ecosystem approach. Recognizing Singapore’s role as a global sustainability financial hub, which has been instrumental in the Movement’s rapid worldwide scaling, the Forum will further solidify the city-state’s position as the global hub for sustainable finance and a leader in Asia’s net zero journey. The event will also unite key ecosystem leaders from around the world to celebrate their invaluable contributions to the Movement’s growth across 60 countries.

Orange Forum 2024 will spotlight key themes, including fostering inclusive climate action through Orange Bonds, building a robust financial ecosystem that bridges public and private sectors via Orange Blended Finance, and the pivotal role of regional leadership in advancing inclusive sustainability. These discussions, led by diverse ecosystem actors—from business leaders to policymakers, investors, and civil society—will shape how we can transform gender equality and climate action into profitable pathways for a more resilient future. This gathering presents a unique opportunity to shift from strategy to action, forging impactful public-private partnerships that redefine sustainable finance.
