    Today’s guest is Jason Lusk, Managing Partner at Clickable Impact and co-author of the recently released Vietnam Climate Tech Funding Ecosystem Report 2024.

    What's Going on in the East Sea?

    Today’s guest is Greg Poling, director of the Southeast Asia Program and the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington D.C.  He’s also the author of the 2022 book ‘On Dangerous Ground: America's Century in the South China Sea.’ We discussed the current situation in the East Sea, which tensions between China and the Philippines have dominated; Vietnam’s ongoing effort to significantly expand the islands it controls and China’s silence on the issue; the current U.S. position in the vital waterway; and the state of relations between smaller claimants overshadowed by the sheer size of China.    Related Links: Hanoi in High Gear: Vietnam’s Spratly Expansion Accelerates (Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative) The South China Sea Dog That Hasn’t Barked…Yet (War on the Rocks) South China Sea: why Beijing takes a low-key approach to Vietnam but not the Philippines (South China Morning Post) Why is Vietnam rapidly building on South China Sea reefs?

    Building Vietnam's Sustainability Community

    Today’s guest is Kelly Vo, Founder & CEO of Dear Our Community and co-founder of Map Me - both of which you’ll hear about in this episode. I’ve known Kelly for a while and she’s a vital part of the sustainability community here in Vietnam - it took a while to schedule this discussion, a testament to how busy Kelly is with her various endeavors, but I’m very glad it happened.  We discussed her work with Dear Our Community, getting young people engaged in sustainability, the importance of businesses communicating with young generations on sustainability in an authentic way, how organizations and companies need patience for results from investing in communications, and MapMe’s mission of focusing on Indigenous knowledge in addressing climate issues, especially in the Mekong Delta.      Donate to Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation to support emergency post-typhoon aid: https://www.bluedragon.org/emergency-appeal-yagi/ Sign up for the Vietnam Weekly newsletter here.  Get full access to Vietnam Weekly at vietnamweekly.substack.com/subscribe

    Special Episode: Responding to Typhoon Yagi

    Today’s guest is Skye Maconachie, co-CEO of Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation. I sat down with Skye at Blue Dragon’s busy office in Hanoi to discuss the organization’s ongoing response to Typhoon Yagi, which killed at least 262 people; the needs of flood-hit communities in the capital; the difficult situation in mountainous areas ravaged by deadly landslides; the importance of long-term support; and the resilience of the people of Vietnam. This episode was recorded on a phone, so the audio quality isn’t as strong as a regular show. Donate to Blue Dragon’s typhoon relief efforts here.
