  "summary": "ASEAN, a regional bloc of 10 Southeast Asian countries, is leveraging its collective strength to tackle global climate change. Recognizing the urgency of the climate crisis, ASEAN leaders have charted an ambitious course toward a resilient, innovative, and people-centered future, as outlined in the ASEAN Community Vision 2045. The region, home to nearly 700 million people and a combined GDP of US$4.3 trillion, is not only a major economic player but also a custodian of significant natural assets, including more than 25 percent of the world's tropical peatlands. ASEAN's commitment to climate action is evident in its efforts to conserve and sustainably manage these ecosystems through the ASEAN Biodiversity Plan 2024–2030 and the ASEAN Peatland Management Strategy 2023–2030. At COP31, ASEAN will host its second ASEAN pavilion, showcasing its climate change efforts and contributions to global sustainability.",
