ACSDSD’s participation emphasized its mandate to bridge policy, knowledge, and dialogue on sustainable development within ASEAN. The Centre highlighted how the forthcoming ASEAN Connectivity Strategic Plan (#ACSP 2026–2035), which ASEAN Member States endorsed in May 2025, is a significant step to integrate sustainability across priority areas—ranging from green energy and sustainable aviation to MSME resilience and digital transformation—ensuring that ASEAN connectivity is both people-centered and future-ready.

🛣️Smart, Seamless and Sustainable #ASEANConnectivity, a vision driven by ASEAN Thailand, will advance a regional cooperation that ensures a future in smart cities with seamless logistics and a sustainable business environment and society that embraces civil society and mainstream research on ASEAN sustainability. By engaging with diverse stakeholders at this event, ACSDSD reinforced its role as a hub for advancing inclusive dialogue that aligns with the ASEAN Community Vision 2045, which amplifies the needs of the region, leaving no one behind.
