Looking Back for a Sustainable ASEAN: The Role of Indigenous Knowledge in Environmental Stewardship Across the Region

Why Indigenous Wisdom Matters for ASEAN

The Let’s Talk it Over on Looking Back for a Sustainable ASEAN: The Role of Indigenous Knowledge in Environmental Stewardship Across the Region seeks to highlight the indispensable contributions of indigenous knowledge systems to sustainable development in Southeast Asia, reaffirming the importance of people-centred approaches in regional integration. Indigenous communities, as stewards of ecological knowledge and custodians of cultural diversity, are vital in realizing these goals.

The forum will serve as a platform to surface indigenous perspectives, promote cross-sectoral learning, and reinforce the call for environmental and cultural justice across the region.
