PODCAST: 50 years of ASEAN: Still waiting for social and ecological justice

These podcasts are part of Heinrich Boll Stiftung’s web dossier 50 years of ASEAN: Still waiting for social and ecological justice.

Within 50 years of existence, ASEAN has made progress on environmental policies – at least on paper. On the ground, paradigms around economic development and growth still shape realities of the people who find it literally harder and harder to breathe.

Forest fires and the haze, daily traffic routines and large-scale industry make the extent of environmental damage in Southeast Asia visible. In this podcast series of Johanna Son, we look behind ASEAN´s promises to be sustainable and people-oriented and find that the institution still falls short of social and ecological justice.
