Confronting the Triple Trap in the Mekong Region: The Pandemic, Economic Downturn, and Climate Crisis
16 July, 2020
This panel is convened by the Center for Social Development Studies, Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University for the Seventh South-South Forum on Sustainability (SSFS7) hosted by Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
Thursday 16 July 2020, start from 14:00-16:00 GMT+7/Thailand Time
In this session, we will discuss how the ‘triple trap’ – the pandemic, economic downturn, and climate crisis – have affected communities across the Mekong region, and how these challenges have been responded to by them, as well as by civil society and state. We also examine the long-term implications of the triple trap, asking what transformations have already occurred and what could happen in the future.
