Marginalised communities across Southeast Asia face a raft of threats from climate change to unsustainable development and land-grabbing to political instability. The final outcome of many of these changes is social exclusion and further marginalisation of poor and rural communities, often deepening poverty levels and jeopardising local livelihoods. This panel will draw on regional experts who have researched and worked with local communities facing threats such as these - several of whom have co-created new knowledge on the impacts of these changes with the communities themselves. The panel will provide case studies and demonstrate models of inclusion that can be discussed with the audience, providing ideas for possible policy change or adaptation and adoption by other similar communities.
