I was invited to deliver a talk at the ASEAN Youth Sustainability Forum 2024, a high-profile virtual event bringing together regional leaders, academics, and youth representatives to discuss sustainable development challenges in Southeast Asia. I contributed to Session 1: Balancing Economic Growth with Environmental Preservation: A Sustainable Future for Southeast Asia.

My presentation focused on strategies for aligning economic development goals with environmental preservation, highlighting examples of policy and market-based interventions. The session facilitated cross-sectoral dialogue between academics, practitioners, and youth leaders, with the aim of generating actionable insights and inspiring future engagement across ASEAN.
