It was an honor to moderate a panel on the rights of nature, with three honchos of environmental law in Asia, with Dr Georgina of UNEP, Dr Linda of NUS APCEL and Ms. Abe of Client Earth. This technical panel had a full house with a non law background undergraduate audience had an intellectual feast of ideas regarding the rights of nature. @abe.1 had an incredible presentation with case studies from Perak!

Sometimes in a panel full of key insights, the job of a moderator is to allow space in a tight schedule, for the engagement to happen. The audience was engaged with questions from students from China and Thailand. Dr Linda’s insights regarding green courts in China was useful. Dr Georgina set up the panel with an excellent context driving conversation.

Regen Asia 2025 was a Grand Prix of a sustainability event of 600 participants from all over Asia and eighty speakers who were the brightest congregation of talent under one roof. Excellent work by the organising team of all enterprising students. Fabulous work by Bernise and Shaun as mentors. It was great to meet sustainability friends from the NUS ecosystem after years!

Learnt a great deal about the latest ideas on regeneration and resilience. Quite a paradigm shifting event.
