**About SIIA**

Established in 1962, the SIIA is a non-profit and independent think tank committed to fostering in-depth dialogues around politics, economic policy, and sustainability in ASEAN and the wider region. In the field of sustainability, the SIIA has championed the fight against the transboundary haze since 1997, when it organised Singapore’s first haze dialogue with the Singapore Environment Council. In 2017, the SIIA authored the first study on sustainable finance in Singapore and how to move green investment forward. Our current sustainability initiatives include exploring the intersections between the green economy and digital economy, and how ASEAN can move towards becoming a climate community with common approaches to carbon and other policy areas, achieving scale and competitiveness.
