The recommendation to establish this panel has been featured in the report “Complementarities between the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: A Framework for Action” which has been contributed by IGES. As envisioned in the report, the objective of the ASEAN Resources Panel is to provide continuous review of environmental and natural resource trends, providing a robust evidence base upon which can design and implement environmental policies. The ASEAN Resources Panel will be expected to consist of national and regional scientists, experts, practitioners and government representatives.
