The protection of our environment is everybody’s responsibility. Failure to prevent the destruction of our ecosystem leads to habitat loss, pollution and climate change. The ASEAN initiative on the Culture of Prevention aims to provide equitable access to a sustainable, clean and safe environment across the region. Yes, our planet is in a state of crisis, however, it is not too late to save it. Acting together as one community, let us join hands to accelerate efforts to protect our environment and humanity.
