SDGs and Business Contribution in Southeast Asia

Established by the United Nations in 2015, the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) collectively provide a comprehensive framework for actions to achieve sustainable development across the world. Governments increasingly recognise the importance of aligning post-pandemic economic and social recovery with SDGs. The goal of this inaugural joint ISEAS-RIETI webinar is to take stock of the current progress achieved in meeting some of the key elements of SDGs in Southeast Asia. It will begin with a presentation of Southeast Asia’s overall SDG progress and the recent the Climate Change Outlook Survey conducted by ISEAS. This will be followed by a presentation on SDGs in Indonesia. Two presenters from the private sector will then discuss the contributions of and opportunities for businesses in the region.

*This webinar will be held as one program within the ASEAN-Japan Business Week.
