The Challenge
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the world.
This economic boom has lifted many out of poverty, but it has also caused significant environmental degradation, with negative effects on human well-being. Our challenge is to maintain and build on the growth of the past two decades, but to do so in a more sustainable way.
We work with partners to respond to some of Asia Pacific’s most urgent challenges.
