On November 2nd, 2023, SDSN hosted its inaugural Asia-Pacific Solutions Forum (APSF), themed “Accelerating Local Action for the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific”, at the Sunway Resort Hotel in Sunway City, Malaysia. The APSF brings into focus both challenges and key enablers for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific. Taking inspiration from SDSN’s past four Global Solutions Forums, the APSF showcases research-backed, innovative, replicable, and scalable solutions identified among the members and local business partners of SDSN. This forum and discussion comes at a critical juncture at the Agenda 2030 midpoint, and as progress towards realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The event had 140 in-person attendees including representatives from CSOs, academia, government, and corporate sector.
