SUMMARY:SIIA Talk | Beyond the Storms – Climate Adaptation and Resilience in ASEAN Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, several ASEAN countries experienced severe tropical storms and monsoon floods\, affecting millions of people and straining response capacity. Aside from the humanitarian impact\, these weather events illustrate that the region’s agricultural systems remain vulnerable to shocks. The hit to supply chains and manufacturing from the 2025 storms was relatively manageable\, but damage to crops and delays in harvesting have been more significant with losses reaching billions of US dollars across the region. With climate change bringing more frequent and potentially more severe extreme weather events\, it is increasingly urgent to ensure that ASEAN’s agricultural producers are both resilient and productive\, in order to meet both domestic nutritional needs and regional trade for economic growth. This talk at the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) will explore how countries are strengthening the resilience of food and agricultural commodity systems\, as well as exploring longer term climate adaptation and productivity goals.   \n\nWhat issues have the events of 2025 exposed\, such as inefficiencies and misallocation in flood control\, or environmental violations that have worsened the impact of landslides?\n\n\nWhat infrastructure\, capacity\, and financing does the agricultural sector need to build resilience against extreme weather events and enhance long term climate adaptation?\n\n\nWhat policy and governance changes are underway in ASEAN countries that will impact land management? What does this mean for supply chains and financiers in the sector?\n\nSpeakers:\nDr Sonny Domingo\, Senior Research Fellow\, Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS)  \nMr Tomi Haryadi\, Director\, Food\, Land\, and Water Programme\, World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia \nModerator: Mr Simon Tay\, Chairman\, Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) \nProgramme \n \nRegistration Form \nThank you for your interest in our event.

SUMMARY:SIIA Talk | US-Israel-Iran: Implications for Geopolitics\, International Law\, and the Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:Attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran have prompted retaliatory strikes across the Middle East\, hitting Israel and other countries in the region. Critics have argued that the operation is both illegal under US law without congressional approval and a violation of international law. Spillover effects are already emerging\, with oil prices rising and Iran attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz\, a waterway that handles nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade. This dialogue jointly organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) and the Middle East Institute (MEI) will examine the geopolitical\, legal\, and economic questions arising from the crisis.  \n\nWhat are the political implications of the conflict\, not just for the Middle East\, but for the rest of the world including Southeast Asia and Singapore? \nDoes this action by the US and Israel mean an upending of the basic tenets of international law? What does this mean for countries like Singapore? \nWhat impact\, both immediate and in the medium to long-term\, could this have on trade with the Middle East and for businesses in general? \n\nSpeakers:\nMs. Angela Mancini\, Partner\, Head of Geopolitical Risk Analysis – APAC\, Control Risks\nProf. Joseph Liow\, Chairman\, Middle East Institute (MEI)\, National University of Singapore (NUS)\nMr. Simon Tay\, Chairman\, Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA)  \nModerator: Ms. Michelle Teo\, Executive Director\, Middle East Institute (MEI)\, National University of Singapore (NUS) \nProgramme: \n \nRegistration Form\n \nThank you for your interest in our event.
