Marine Environmental Issues

U.S. Embassy Bangkok announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting proposals to organize a conference that examines current marine environmental issues in the seas of Southeast Asia that are of interest to the United States, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and its partners. Proposals should encourage think tanks and academia to engage in a comprehensive conversation examining and analyzing international issues related to environmental challenges in the seas of Southeast Asia.

This conference will be part of a series of thematic U.S.-ASEAN conferences for think tank specialists, strategic thinkers, and academics. Conference presenters and participants should be encouraged to discuss the current environmental state, examine any challenges, and make recommendations for policy makers in ASEAN and the wider multi-lateral architecture in the Asia-Pacific region.
