Myanmar (Burma) is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia and is now facing a challenge in simultaneously addressing two existential threats. Dealing with a climate crisis is an urgent need for Myanmar to survive on the one hand as the world’s second most vulnerable country to climate change while ending the prolonged and widespread civil war is a must on the other to prevent Myanmar from collapsing further. Given the current socio-political circumstances, it seems like an impossible job. However, Mr. Win would like to share his views on how environmental issues and political conflicts in Myanmar are interrelated, why it is essential to address both, and in which way this could be doable by reflecting on his thirty years of experience in environmental politics in Myanmar. He also believes that such intellectual brainstorming would be useful and relevant to other failed states like Myanmar for leaving no one behind in pursuing sustainable development goals and global climate actions.
