Malaysia has not been spared from the impact of climate change, from the intense heatwaves of recent months to the coming flood season. If the country does not change its course, economic growth will be at a standstill, said Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad at the Climate Finance Summit last Thursday (July 20). Nik Nazmi, who gave the keynote speech at the summit, shared his experience witnessing the sea level rise and coastal erosion in Malaysia.
