This panel investigates the advantages and disadvantages of traditional social and political structures in Southeast Asia that impact climate action. What norms found in traditional Southeast Asian political cultures make climate action and adaptation easier or more difficult? What social norms help or discourage engagement with climate change? What specific policies or approaches should be adopted to utilize positive elements of the traditional Southeast Asian sociopolitical tradition in climate action, and how can the negative elements of that tradition be overcome so that they do not impede action against climate change?
