As the APEC CEO Summit kicks off in San Francisco this week, global leaders are zeroing in on one critical question: How can the Asia-Pacific region tackle economic uncertainty while staying green and inclusive? 🌱✨
Collaboration Over Competition
Dr. Victoria Chonn Ching, an economic policy expert at USC, argues that strengthening supply chains is non-negotiable for a sustainable future. 🌍💡 With protectionism on the rise, she urges APEC members to collaborate on innovation and trade frameworks that prioritize resilience. \"It’s not just about moving goods faster—it’s about building systems that empower everyone,\" she says.
Green Growth & Women’s Voices Take Center Stage
This year’s summit theme—\"Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All\"—aligns with Dr. Ching’s call for green investments and amplifying women in leadership. 📊👩💼 From renewable energy partnerships to inclusive policymaking, the focus is on solutions that bridge economic and environmental goals.
Why It Matters for You
Whether you’re a startup founder in Jakarta or a student in Mexico City, APEC’s decisions ripple across borders. 💼🌐 Dr. Ching’s insights remind us that interconnectedness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to weathering global challenges, from climate shocks to tech disruptions.
