Strong governance and nature integration needed for cities to lead climate fight: Nik Nazmi
Kuala Lumpur must confront weak local governance, shrinking green spaces and rising urban heat, said the former environment minister. The challenge now is to adapt and manoeuvre wisely, drawing on lessons from a time when Southeast Asian cities were once seamlessly embedded in nature.
The country was rocked by two ministers quitting the cabinet in a single day, though Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he has yet to make a decision on their resignations. A climate bill that Nik Nazmi's ministry had initiated is almost ready for tabling in Parliament.
Lotilla's replaces Toni Yulo Loyzaga as secretary of the environment agency in the wake of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos, Jr's cabinet revamp. Green groups say his selection "rings alarm bells" due to his fossil fuel ties.
