This issue coincides with our Ring the Bell for Climate initiative and COP31. We are proud to highlight the work of exchanges across our global community and the considerable efforts they are making to address climate change.

Our cover feature comes from Loui Anastasopoulos, CEO of Toronto Stock Exchange and Global Head of Capital Formation at TMX Group, who writes about Canada Climate Week Xchange, its role in supporting climate action and how exchanges can help mobilise capital for the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Elsewhere, the Philippine Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange of Thailand highlight their work to support sustainable investment and help businesses further their climate ambitions. Krystel Reyes, Sustainability Specialist, Bolsa Mexicana de Valores looks at how Mexico's capital markets are financing biodiversity conservation, climate resilience and sustainable development.

From one of our Long-Term Partners, Beeks, Graeme McArthur, Account Manager, Key Accounts (APAC), looks at how on-demand infrastructure is helping exchanges improve time to market, attract participants and support liquidity.

In December, we will share further coverage of the WFE's 65th General Assembly and Annual Meeting in Mumbai, hosted by the National Stock Exchange of India.
