In the heart of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, plastic waste is more than an envir­on­ment­al issue; it is a com­munity challenge. 

Anh Duong Cen­ter is facing up to the chal­lenge by turn­ing plastic waste into products, learn­ings, and livelihoods. 

Their innov­at­ive school-based mod­el has earned recog­ni­tion from the 2025 EXO Found­a­tion Sus­tain­ab­il­ity Awards in the ‘People’ category.

As Bali runs dry, can tourism help replenish its water?

and September 10, 2025

In Bali, water is essential to culture as well as life. As Bali runs dry, can tourism help replenish its water?

The travel & tour­ism industry can be expec­ted to hon­our the human right to water, par­tic­u­larly in com­munit­ies and des­tin­a­tions in which it operates. 

Industry stake­hold­ers need not see this as a bur­den, but rather as a com­pel­ling oppor­tun­ity to mean­ing­fully engage with loc­al people on secur­ing tra­di­tion­al water sup­plies, all the while devel­op­ing more sus­tain­able water and waste man­age­ment sys­tems of their own.

Nic­olaus Sulistyo sheds light on IDEP Found­a­tion’s Bali Water Pro­tec­tion (BWP) ini­ti­at­ive; an EXO Found­a­tion Sus­tain­ab­il­ity Award winner.
