The 50th ASEAN-Japan Business Meeting (AJBM) Forum, happening from November 6-8, 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand, brings together private sector leaders from ASEAN, Japan, and Thailand to promote economic growth through investment and collaboration. The AJBM Forum provides a platform for industry leaders to address regional challenges and propose actionable policies to relevant authorities across Japan and ASEAN, fostering greater cooperation and development across the region.
The forum poses the central question: What could occur over the next 10 years to ASEAN, if no action is taken now? This urgent call is addressed through in-depth discussions and analyses of three key industries: food security, mobility, and tourism, with each focusing on a trending, relevant, and high-impact issue.
YCP has produced a series of white papers focusing on food security, mobility, and tourism. These reports present key findings and outline proposed strategies to inspire policymakers and businesses to implement impactful reforms that create lasting change.
Food Security, Mobility, and Tourism in SEA
As outlined by our reports, Southeast Asia (SEA) faces pressing challenges in food security, mobility, and tourism, each with profound implications for sustainable growth and regional resilience. The challenges and pressures faced include rapid urbanization, climate change, and economic shifts, highlighting the need for innovative and sustainable solutions.
The AJBM white paper series provides key insights into the pressing issues faced by each industry, presenting roadmaps and frameworks that enable resilience through strategic, cross-sector collaboration throughout the region. The reports include insight into:
- Food Security – Addressing vulnerabilities from climate risks and import reliance, this report highlights strategies to build resilient food systems through sustainable practices and local resource optimization
- Mobility – With urbanization intensifying pollution and congestion, this paper explores solutions like electric vehicles and smart traffic systems to enhance urban mobility and reduce emissions
- Tourism – As popular destinations face environmental strain, this report proposes collaborative approaches to promote alternative destinations and sustain regional tourism assets
