ICSD 2022 Plenary 1 | ASEAN Green Future
Channel: SDSN
Date: 19/09/2022

The ASEAN Green Future project is a collaboration between the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ClimateWorks Australia, the Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development at Sunway University, and research groups from across Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, and Thailand, with potential participation by Brunei, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, and Viet Nam in the future). The project aims to demonstrate how sustainable, decarbonized economies offer enhanced economic development and more resilient futures for the region. 

The Phase 1 report of each country team presents priorities and actions to date, and key technology and policy opportunities to further advance domestic climate action. The Phase 1 regional report situates the region’s path to low-carbon transition within a global context using the country reports and other studies. This series of reports, produced through a synthesis of existing research and knowledge, builds the case for advancing the region’s climate agenda.

This session will bring together researchers from this project to discuss their findings and the impacts on the ASEAN region.

Speakers:

- Professor Woo Wing Thye
- Professor Toby Melissa C. Monsod
- Wai Sern Low
- Dr. Vannarith Chheang
- Associate Professor Wai Mun Chia
