About ASEAN Environment Knowledge Hub
ASEAN Environment Knowledge Hub (hereafter: The Hub) is developed to become an integrated knowledge management system that supports ASEAN Member States (AMS) in moving towards a more effective environmental data and information management system and serves as a helpful resource to support ASEAN in its policymaking and processes.
The Hub is a one-stop platform for the public to access knowledge. It is the primary channel to promote equitable access, awareness and appreciation of ASEAN Cooperation on Environment to achieve greater communication impacts as mandated by the ASCC 2025 Blueprint while showing the commitment of AMS and its environmental stakeholders to initiate inclusive and transformative changes in ASEAN society.
The Hub provides easy public access to knowledge and enables information sharing on emerging environmental issues in ASEAN. The Hub is developed with various features and menus to suit the needs of environment enthusiasts in knowledge sharing.
