Abstract:
Greta Thunberg has called on politicians to “listen to the science” and take climate

“listening to the science” is complemented with “listening to society”.

Abstract:
The Philippines’ removal of quotas on rice imports leads to increased competition, with negative short-term impacts on its farmers and on poorer urban ASEAN consumers. In the long-run, however, these challenges may serve as a strong push to upgrade regional rice production practices.

Abstract:
In 2017 Myanmar established the Union Enterprise for Humanitarian Assistance,
Resettlement and Development in Rakhine State (UEHRD) to facilitate peacebuilding.

Abstract:
Proposed solutions to climate change are heavily reliant on technological advances.
Considering the initial causes of current warming trends that can be traced back to the
Industrial Revolution, a shift in consumerism may provide better solutions to climate
woes.

Abstract:
For decades, international humanitarian assistance has been a supply-driven
enterprise of rich countries funding multilateral and international organisations to
distribute aid in poor and fragile states. To be more demand-driven, we should develop
modalities that enable crisis-affected people to access the help they need.

Abstract:
The recent announcements in Parliament to raise Singapore’s food self-production
level from the current 10% to 30% of total food needs by 2030, the “30 by 30” strategy,

Abstract:
Notwithstanding the growing frequency of natural disasters worldwide, it is difficult to
strengthen disaster risk governance in ASEAN and globally. Several factors stand in
the way. However, a recent pilot study in Thailand suggests that a regional disaster
risk platform is within reach that could transform ASEAN into a global disaster
management leader.
