Seismic shifts in global policy are upending the architecture of resilient societies the world over. The previous foundations of international trade, environmental sustainability, and the global order are giving way to instability. How are Asia-Pacific stakeholders working within this uncertainty to build healthy communities, promote the green transition, and tackle difficult everyday decisions? As economic and political security falters, novel approaches and decisive action will become crucial for shaping the landscape of a resilient future.
CAPRI’s 2025 Annual Forum will gather distinguished policymakers, industry pioneers, and scholars from across the globe to construct innovative ideas for a changing world. The Forum will feature timely discussions on how the Asia Pacific can adapt to these new realities and emerge as a leader in addressing climate and health challenges, building balanced and inclusive growth, and developing cutting-edge policy to bolster the resilience of society in the long term.
This event will be livestreamed and held in English, with Mandarin interpretation available for in-person attendees.
Stay tuned for the program details.
As international climate leadership declines, Asia-Pacific actors can lead the way toward a sustainable future. Private-sector leaders from Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore will share how they invest in sustainability at the community level and leverage leadership to promote a greener world.

This discussion will explore the new world the region finds itself in and how countries are adapting their economic, trade, and security strategies to maintain resilience and sustainable growth amid global fragmentation.
Despite their minimal contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is causing interconnected crises in Pacific Island communities, including vulnerability to natural hazards, economic strain, and challenges to both physical and mental health.

In the face of global instability and uncertainty, how are cities and communities remaining resilient? Mayors and governors from the Asia Pacific will discuss challenges of urban sustainability, economic competitiveness, and social inclusion, sharing best practices and innovative strategies for weathering shocks and addressing long-term challenges.
