Asian countries were among the first to be impacted by COVID-19 and have delivered some of the most effective healthcare responses.  Businesses have adapted to the challenges quickly too and Asian economies appear to be rebounding rapidly.

This episode of ESGX Live explores:

1. Where and how have Asian countries been most impacted by COVID-19 and what opportunities has this created?
2. How are commercial and philanthropic organisations responding?  Where are the opportunities and what are the risks?
3. What are the longer-term implications for the world’s economic center of gravity?  How should companies, investors and philanthropists respond?​

​Our special guests include:
