Last night we kicked off From City to the Sea, an exhibition and talk with National Geographic Explorers from the Philippines and Indonesia. The idea was to bring people together to ask how the ocean runs through our everyday lives and to show, through the exhibition, just how deeply connected we are to it.
The stories that emerged felt familiar and nostalgic: memories of islands and rivers, markets full of voices, kitchens where recipes carry love across generations. Food became more than food. It became a way to remember who we are and where we come from.
It also sparked bigger questions. Do we keep treating climate and food waste as someone else’s problem, or do we begin making different choices in our own homes, streets, and communities?
The energy in the room gave us hope. Young people showed up ready to imagine something better: food systems that nourish both people and planet, and futures that feel worth building.
This was just one of more than 200 events happening during Bangkok Climate Action Week, Asia’s first city-wide climate festival. A week where the city becomes a stage for climate stories, big and small. We’re glad to be part of it, and this is only the beginning.
