In response to the proposal by the G20, CASI plans to use more effective and innovative methods to deliver and distribute aggregated knowledge and best practices from member institutions via multiple channels. As of now, major players in the sustainable finance market, including the IFS, Silk Road Fund, HKMA IFFO, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Neuberger Berman, have confirmed their participation in CASI as founding members. 28 other member institutions, including platforms under international organizations, universities, associations, NGOs, think tanks, and professional service providers have joined CASI as knowledge providers and distribution channels. "We expect more organizations to confirm their CASI membership in the coming months," said Ma. 

CASI will offer in-person training and online learning programs to a broad audience including regulators, financial institutions, corporates and services providers from EMEDs, addressing key bottlenecks faced in these markets, such as green taxonomy, sustainability disclosure, financial products, policy incentives, carbon markets, and origination of green projects.

Ma explained further that "CASI is version 2.0 of the IFS-hosted Global Green Finance Leadership Program (GFLP) which, over the past five years, has already organized and supported more than 30 global capacity-building events, covering over 4,500 participants from 70 countries."

A formal launch event for CASI will be held in Dubai during the annual UN climate talks (COP28) in early December. CASI is set to be operational in early 2024.
