Ambassador of the EU Delegation to ASEAN Sujiro Seam opened the event, underlining the EU’s commitment to supporting partners, including ASEAN Member States, in the green transition. “This is an opportunity to encourage and motivate individuals, communities and organisations to take stronger actions – to protect, preserve and restore our environment, for now and for future generations,” he said.
The event not only demonstrates the EU's commitment to cooperation with ASEAN but also towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.
Over the years, ASEAN has demonstrated its strong commitment to addressing climate change. This has been done through multi-sectoral dialogues and related activities, with the participation of key partners in various sectors.
The organisation of the Green Diplomacy Week is not only a demonstration of EU-ASEAN cooperation but also part of the EU’s global campaign to promote cooperation on climate change and inspire meaningful action.
This annual event has become an important occasion for the EU and its Member States to organise a series of global events to promote dialogue and cooperation on climate issues. Green Diplomacy Week activities are not only a platform to showcase successful sustainability initiatives but also play an important role in promoting green action.
With the strong start of the EU-ASEAN Green Diplomacy Week, it is hoped that there will be more initiatives and practical actions to protect the environment and respond to climate change, contributing to the sustainable development of the region. This cooperation will not only benefit the countries in the region but also the whole world in the fight against climate change.
