adelphi in Singapore: Climate Diplomacy Narratives in the ASEAN countries

"Regional Scoping Workshop on 'Perspectives for Climate Diplomacy in Southeast Asia'" stresses out the important role of coastal cities as drivers for sustainable growth. The event jointly organized with the German Federal Foreign Office explored climate diplomacy narratives in different regions.

Southeast Asia is considered to be a region highly vulnerable to near and long-term climatic changes. In order to jointly address emerging climate risks and to complement multilateral negotiations through enhanced regional cooperation, a more comprehensive climate diplomacy focus is needed. On 29th November, more than 40 representatives from Southeast Asian Foreign Ministries and Think Tanks meet in Singapore to discuss potential next steps in this direction.

adelphi and the Centre for Non-Traditional Security Studies organized this workshop funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. To promote initiatives for a green economy and sustainable development in the region, foreign policy can, for example, use the rich experiences of coastal cities in the region. The workshop is part of adelpi’s cooperation with the Foreign Office to explore climate diplomacy narratives in different regions to improve the prospects of international climate protection.

Please find further information and the program on the website of the RSIS Centre for NTS Studies.

A documentation of the workshop will be available soon on the adelphi website.
