🌍 Climate change and its impact on healthcare is a pressing challenge—an emerging topic of great interest to us at Padang & Co. We're excited to be facilitating the Asia-Pacific Global Health Innovation Hackathon 2025, as highlighted by SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute. 💡 Adapting to climate change is vital. This means building stronger, more resilient healthcare systems and finding new, innovative ways to tackle the many health challenges it brings. There’s plenty of work ahead, and it’s time to act. If you'd like to contribute to this important conversation, reach out to us at info@padang.co.

According to the International Energy Agency (2023), SEA will increase its urban population by 23% (from 355 to 435 million) between 2023 and 2035. In the same period, the number of air-conditioning units will increase five-fold from 37 to 186 million. Such big increments point to a need for stronger efficiency standards and more innovations to reduce energy use by both new and old buildings. Here are a few highlights in Build Environment from our Southeast Asia Green Economy Landscape report. The 7 key sectors covered in the report are: 🔹 Nature and Agriculture 🔹 Energy 🔹 Environmental Services and Finance 🔹 Transportation 🔹 Materials and Manufacturing 🔹 Waste Management 🔹 Built Environment What to learn more about how startups are helping to accelerate the region’s transition to a sustainable future?

Waste management is a pressing issue in Southeast Asia, accounting for 25% of waste worldwide. Rapid urbanisation could see solid waste doubling from over 150 million tons of waste annually in 2016 to 300 million tons by 2030. Despite its critical role in addressing environmental challenges, only 123 of the 1,157 startups covered in our report focus on waste management, highlighting a significant gap in innovation and investment. With improper disposal contributing to severe pollution and health risks, particularly from plastic waste, improving waste management systems is essential for sustainability and public health in the region. Here are a few highlights in Waste Management, from our Southeast Asia Green Economy Landscape report. The 7 key sectors covered in the report are: 🔹 Nature and Agriculture 🔹 Energy 🔹 Environmental Services and Finance 🔹 Transportation 🔹 Materials and Manufacturing 🔹 Waste Management 🔹 Built Environment What to learn more about how startups are helping to accelerate the region’s transition to a sustainable future?

Southeast Asia is where multinational corporations source raw materials (Indonesia and Malaysia produce 83% of the world’s palm oil, for example) and manufacture products that are shipped all over the world. Building on that demand, we need to influence suppliers in the region – from large local enterprises to SMEs – to transition to lower-carbon materials across industries, ranging from glass, metals, plastics to chemicals. Here are a few highlights in Materials and Manufacturing, from our Southeast Asia Green Economy Landscape report.

Southeast Asia presents a significant opportunity to drive greater sustainability across all modes of transportation due to its growing urbanisation, increasing vehicle ownership, and pressing environmental challenges. Besides reducing emissions and improving air quality, transitioning to greener alternatives such as electric vehicles (EVs) – including two- and three-wheelers that are widely used in this region – can support economic growth and improve quality of life for millions.

The energy transition is crucial for Southeast Asia, where energy demand is projected to rise by over 25% by 2035 (International Energy Agency). Utility-scale solar and wind, plus captive solar (electricity produced solely for the owner's use), are amongst the decarbonisation propositions with the highest abatement and deployability potential in the region.
