As Southeast Asia’s capital cities continue to experience rapid urbanization and population growth, how much lush greenery still remains within these expanding urban landscapes?

Here’s a visualization showing how much of the capital cities are still covered with forests, grasslands, or with considerable vegetation as of 2025, based on the latest update from the Esri Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover data.

Greenery coverage across the 10 ASEAN capital cities varies greatly. Naypyidaw and Vientiane remain among the greenest, while densely populated capitals such as Jakarta and are already heavily built up with buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.

Urban forests and vegetation play a crucial role in reducing heat, improving air quality, and protecting water resources, helping make cities more livable and resilient.

Long-term efforts, such as in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, to restore and expand green spaces are already delivering benefits to residents, from cooler surroundings to healthier urban environments.

A super El Niño wiped out millions of people in 1877. Are we better prepared now? The climatic phenomenon is expected to return this year, but a lot has changed since what might have been the worst environmental disaster in human history.

"Ikaw ang aking mundo!" Iyan ang palagi nating naririnig sa mga taong nahuhumaling sa atin (𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗻). Sa ating pagdiriwang ng , ating alamin kung ano nga ba ang munting pagkakaiba ng mga salitang 'daigdig' at 'mundo'.

Ang 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗱𝗶𝗴 (𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀: 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵) ay tumutukoy sa mismong planeta kung saan tayo nakatira. Ang mabatong planeta na ikatlo mula sa araw, kasunod ng Mercury at Venus. Sa kabilang banda, ang 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗼 (𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀: 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱) ay tumutukoy sa kabuuan, mula sa pisikal na daigdig hanggang sa iba't ibang "sphere" at mga nakatira rito.

Sa mas malawak na paggamit, nangangahulugan din ang mundo sa isang komunidad na may isa o higit pang pagkakatulad at malalim ang interaksyon, tulad ng 'mundo ng social media'.
