The culmination of the Asian Students Environment Platform (ASEP) 2022 heralded not

only the conclusion of a transformative journey but also the beginning of a renewed

commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development by the AEON

Environmental Foundation as well as the participating universities. Anchored by the dual

themes of "Building A Recycling Society" and "My Satoyama," ASEP 2022 epitomized the

collective resolve of all participants from ten esteemed universities across Asia to address

pressing environmental challenges and promote local sustainability initiatives. As the

virtual stage was set, the participants had embarked on an immersive exploration of

innovative approaches to waste management, resource conservation, and community

engagement. Through interactive workshops, virtual field visits, and collaborative group

projects, the participants exchanged insights, shared best practices, and developed

actionable strategies to effect positive change in their communities and beyond. The

presentation of the results session displayed the fruits of their labour, highlighting the

ingenuity and commitment of participants to advancing environmental sustainability.

Additionally, the "My Satoyama" initiative provided a platform for participants to honour

their local communities and share grassroots environmental efforts, fostering a deeper

appreciation for the interconnectedness of global and local sustainability initiatives.
