Asia is home to more than half the world’s population. By 2040, the region is also expected to account for more than half of global GDP, and about 40% of global consumption.
This represents enormous progress for the region’s people. But it also puts enormous stress on resources, infrastructure and the environment.
Without complete commitment to sustainable development, Asia’s projected growth threatens not only the region’s own future, but the planet itself.
How can governments, businesses and entrepreneurs achieve the twin goals of economic progress and sustainability at the same time?
Fortunately, the solutions are out there. Effective, technology-based solutions to Asia’s development challenges are already in use, both in the region and around the world.
Our mission is to uncover the newest and most impactful of them, and share them for the benefit of all.
Through interviews, case studies, discussions and debates, we showcase the most enlightened thinking, the most effective innovations and the most practical tools to address the region’s unique development challenges.
Our communications platform and knowledge events are a virtual “Town Hall” for everyone committed to sustainable development, bringing together experts from across the region to advise stakeholders and apply the most impactful knowledge and solutions.
Join us, and make a difference.
