Spread across archipelagos, river basins and forests, Southeast Asian countries are home to some of the world’s most spectacular natural and cultural diversity. At the same time, the region is considered one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change. With much of the population and infrastructure located in coastal and river delta areas, hundreds of millions of people are at great risk from the impacts of climate change, facing rising sea levels, heat waves, and increasingly intense and unpredictable weather events.

 

Believing in the crucial role of education to promote climate action, SEACA Hub is set up out of a desire to help people develop a better understanding of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to act as agents of change.

Southeast Asia has played an increasingly important role in the global political economy over the last thirty years. The combined GDPs of the ASEAN trading group makes it the fifth largest economy in the world, accounting for 3.4% of the world’s GDP and one-fifth of global foreign direct investment inflows. However, the growth has come at a significant environmental cost. There is growing recognition of the need to decouple economic development from emissions growth in pursuit of the 1.5°C goal. 

 

Believing in the power of entrepreneurship, SEACA Hub exists to harness the existing passions and entrepreneurial mindset of Southeast Asian entrepreneurs, energizing the next generation of ecopreneurs to drive bold innovations solving big climate challenges.
