OECD: Towards Greener and More Inclusive Societies in Southeast Asia

11 MARCH 2024 | 10:00-12:40 CET | Paris and Hybrid

Southeast Asia has achieved remarkable economic growth over the past few decades, but it has relied heavily on natural resources.
As a result, climate-related risks are threatening over 100 million jobs, mostly informal, in environment-related sectors such as energy or agriculture. Protecting the livelihoods of these vulnerable populations calls for urgent environmental adaptation and mitigation measures, but also for bold social policies.
This new OECD report provides policy makers of the region with fresh evidence on the potential effects of climate change and the green transition on jobs and people.
Join policy makers and experts in this hybrid event to discover the report’s key findings, and discuss social policy priorities for Southeast Asia.
