Description :

Southeast Asia is home to some of the world’s richest biodiversity hotspots - yet deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change threaten the very fabric of our region’s natural heritage.

Nature underpins much of the region’s economic engine. Recent estimates by Temasek, World Economic Forum and AlphaBeta stated nature-positive business opportunities in the region add up to USD 4.3 trillion in annual business value by 2030, underlining its indispensable role in enabling our collective growth. Alarmingly, there are clear warnings that biodiversity and nature loss imperil up to 63% of Asia Pacific’s GDP.

Given the threat to our natural world, the imperative to embrace nature-based solutions to mitigate these challenges has never been more urgent. Join SMBC in a dynamic roundtable discussion to explore innovative, economically strident strategies to promote the expansion of nature-based solutions, focusing on the rich landscape of Southeast Asia's biodiversity hotspots.
