Introduction
The Asia-Pacific region faces significant sustainability challenges, particularly due to climate change, which has been exacerbated by rapid warming and increasing weather-related hazards. In response, innovative solutions are being developed by various organizations, researchers, and social investors. The AVPN has initiated the Sustainability Seed Fund 2.0, supported by Google.org and the Asian Development Bank, to empower 18 grant recipients who are utilizing artificial intelligence and cloud technologies to create impactful sustainability solutions. This initiative not only aims to mitigate the effects of climate change but also fosters a collaborative environment for NGOs to share insights and strategies. Here’s a quick overview of the projects being undertaken by these organizations, showcasing their commitment to a sustainable future for the Asia-Pacific region.
