As the world’s fourth largest energy consumer, t he region faces an urgent need to decarbonise. Between 1990 and 2010, its c arbon emissions rose faster than in any other part of the world, while it r emains among the most climate-vulnerable regions due to rising sea levels, intensifying weather extremes, and the concentration of populations and ind ustries in low-lying deltaic zones. These physical risks are compounded by persistent social inequalities, corruption, authoritarian governance, and l imited accountability, which together shape how environmental harms and ada ptation burdens are distributed. This panel explores how vulnerability in M ainland Southeast Asia is relational, produced through the actions and inac tions of those with economic and political power, and borne disproportionat ely by those without it. Using a political ecology lens, the panel examines how state-led adaptation schemes, energy transitions, and resource governa nce reproduce uneven development and structural violence. It interrogates h ow technocratic and market-based solutions to climate change often reinforc e rather than reduce inequality, prioritising elite and industrial interest s while marginalising rural and peri-urban communities. At the same time, i t highlights how affected groups resist, reframe, and negotiate these injus tices through everyday practices and collective mobilisation. By bringing t hese cases together, the panel advances a critical understanding of the int ertwined ecological, political, and economic processes shaping climate inju stice in the region.
