The ranking of ASEAN countries with respect to their progress in attaining the 17 SDGs shows a wide range of achievements. The top-ranked countries (Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore) have performed very well in SDG 1 on No Poverty, SDG 4 on Quality Education, and SDG 6 on Clean Water and Sanitation. The UN Sustainable Development Goals Report of 2022 indicates timely progress by at least one ASEAN country in SDG 1, SDG 4, SDG 6, SDG 8, SDG 9, SDG 11, SDG 12 and SDG 13.
The use of futures thinking and foresight has been adopted by several ASEAN countries as members of the ASEAN Foresight Alliance initiated by Malaysia in 2019. Through training workshops, AFA serves as a platform for providing the right tools and skills in identifying and understanding emerging issues and uncertainties up to 2050.
The objectives of the session are 1) for the ASEAN members to learn from each other through sharing of best practices and discussion on how the ASEAN countries can improve in terms of the SDGs not yet attained by any ASEAN country; and 2) to discuss the use of futures thinking and foresighting as tools in attaining the SDGs.
