SUMMARY:Green Transition Innovation in a Changing Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Sala Mari Luz Nájera
DESCRIPTION:Southeast Asia as a region is dynamic and fast moving, facing u
 rgent environmental challenges. Ranging from climate vulnerability to rapid
  urbanisation, the crises that the region encounters also serve as a dynami
 c ground for social enterprises and government or non-governmental agencies
  that imagine alternative development pathways. However, as “any transition
  to more sustainable living is neither linear nor purely technical” (Abram,
  Winthereik, and Yarrow 2019, p.3), the lives of the people impacted by the
 se initiatives are rarely discussed beyond numbers. Many of the times, thos
 e programmes, initiatives and business models that aim to provide an ecolog
 ical and green solution to populations tend to either mask bigger political
  agenda or at best fail to deliver their promises.\nFireside chats are info
 rmal, conversational discussions focussed on topics that are both of intere
 st to a wider public and experts. Fireside chats are used very frequently n
 ot just in policy discussions but also in startup circles to quickly circul
 ate ideas and opinions in an accessible format. This session aims to foster
  an informal, inclusive atmosphere in which panelists share personal reflec
 tions, fieldwork experiences, and critical insights on policy innovations a
 nd community-based solutions. How are local entrepreneurs and grassroots or
 ganisations driving green transformations beyond state-led agendas? What ba
 rriers and opportunities exist for scaling social impact initiatives in con
 texts of inequality and contested resources? How do emerging models of entr
 epreneurship intersect with global movements toward environmental justice?\
 nThe session will feature a moderated conversation with 2-3 discussants, dr
 awing on their multidisciplinary experiences. The emphasis on a fireside ch
 at format is intentional: by moving away from formal presentations, the ses
 sion will create space for candid dialogue and audience engagement, allowin
 g participants to surface new questions and frame future research direction
