Such an honor to be with the stalwarts at Regen Asia at the National University of Singapore. Day One was an intellectual treat for sustainability nerd, yes even after two decades sustainability as a conceptual paradigm evolves at rapid pace.
Regeneration is a key update to the sustainability vocabulary as healing the existing damage ecosystem is critical in addition to plain preservation, which is sustainability inter generation wide as per the Brundtland Report. Sustainability is like so 1990s, actually.
It was great to hear YB Yeo, the former Malaysian Environmental Minister on Rooftop Solar, and economic logic as well as Louis Ng, former Singaporean Member of Parliament on his journey from activism to politics to academia now where he is engaging ASEAN policymakers think climate action.
Learnt also about the tragedy of the commons through a workshop. President Tharman in a conversation panel was the most articulate about trade offs and innovation to reduce the delta regarding the trade offs was inspiring.
Sustainability is more than reporting, it is a lens to view future opportunities.
