About this listen

 Climate change, gender inequality, poverty—these are big, global challenges that need global solutions. And Asia is not just participating in but shaping these solutions. On today’s episode, we’ll hear how institutions across the continent are mobilizing capital, partnerships, and innovation to address these issues. First, host Rob Sachs sits down with Serena Grant, the director of business and human rights at the Minderoo Foundation. Grant discusses Minderoo’s initiatives to combat modern slavery and protect women’s rights. Later in the show, Rob talks to M.L. Dispanadda Diskul, the CEO of Mae Fah Luang Foundation in Thailand, and Laila Mostafa Abdullatif, the director-general of Emirates Nature-WWF, to hear how involving local communities is crucial to successful climate policy.AVPN: Asian Leadership for an Inclusive World is a podcast from AVPN produced by FP Studios.
