From Indigenous embroidery to community murals and heirloom seeds, artists and cultural workers in UNESCO Creative City Iloilo are stitching tradition into climate resilience.
Edward Vrkić, United Nations Development Programme chief for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam, warned that failing to invest in adaptation could be far costlier, as Malaysia works on its first National Adaptation Plan and seeks to turn climate resilience into a private investment opportunity.
