The previous foundations of international trade, environmental sustainability, and the global order are giving way to a complex new reality. How are Asia-Pacific stakeholders working within this environment to build healthy communities, promote the green transition, and contribute to innovation and economic growth? As geopolitical stability declines, novel approaches will be crucial to ensure the region’s resilience.
CAPRI’s 2025 Annual Forum will gather distinguished policymakers, industry pioneers, and education leaders from across the globe to examine innovative ideas for a fragmenting world. It will feature timely discussions on how the Asia Pacific can adapt to these new realities and emerge at the forefront in addressing climate and health challenges, building balanced and inclusive growth, and developing cutting-edge policies to bolster long-term societal resilience.
This event will be livestreamed and held in English, with Mandarin interpretation available for in-person attendees.
