Economic
Integration
WE WANT
More than 500 million ASEAN citizens are dependent for their food, livelihood and other needs on the resource base of forests, seas, rivers, lands, and other ecosystems.
Their protection must therefore be reconciled with the growth rate targets of the ASEAN economic integration, in 2015 and beyond.

Sustainable Ecosystems
Being inherently vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and other environmental challenges, ASEAN cannot afford to grow and clean later. Clauses that protect the environment must be included in ASEAN economic agreements. The past few years, the region and its people have borne the brunt of some of the deadliest and most expensive typhoons.
The ASEAN integration we want ensures healthy and productive ecosystems across the region.
