This article deals with the unique paradox of ASEAN countries: On the one hand, they are extremely vulnerable to climate change, probably more than anyone else in terms of regions, but on the other hand, their efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change have been very limited.

The idea behind this article was to apply new, digital technologies in order to study some of the least accessible places in the world, namely neighbouring regions of Bangladesh and Myanmar. We studied changes over time in environmental, social and economic domains, and explored the causes of these changes (2012-2019).
