## About

In its 2026 Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum lists "Extreme Weather Events" and "Biodiversity Loss and Ecosystem Collapse" as top global risks for the next decade. The United Nations Environment Programme’s Adaptation Gap Report 2025 highlights that global adaptation efforts are insufficient, requiring between $310 billion and $365 billion annually in adaptation finance for developing countries by 2035 to adequately prepare for climate change. These challenges in tackling such critical issues call for a unified effort from public, private, and philanthropic sectors to develop and implement sustainable solutions.The Singapore International Foundation is a firm believer in the power of collective action to address global challenges. By facilitating collaboration between stakeholders across Southeast Asia, SEAPAW tackles pressing water-related concerns resulting from climate change - a threat that demands our collective regional response.


## The Singapore International Foundation and World Economic Forum are both committed to foster collaboration and innovation to address climate change challenges.

Together, we aim to inspire and empower stakeholders to create solutions and build a more resilient and sustainable future for Southeast Asia and beyond.
