A Southeast Asian perspective on trade and climate change mitigation and adaptation

The document analyzes ASEAN's climate mitigation and adaptation strategies in agriculture, energy, and forestry, arguing for a more inclusive international trade dialogue that prioritizes developing country perspectives over those of advanced economies.

• Southeast Asia faces high vulnerability to climate change due to its geography, extreme poverty, and a heavy reliance on natural resources and agriculture.
• ASEAN member states have implemented national and regional actions for climate adaptation and mitigation, specifically focusing on the energy, agriculture, and land-use, land-use change, and forestry sectors.
• Current international discussions on trade and climate change, including those at the WTO, are primarily driven by the policies and proposals of advanced economies, necessitating a more inclusive, bottom-up approach to incorporate developing country priorities.
