Why climate adaptation is Malaysia’s next investment frontier
As climate risks become financial risks, investing in resilience is essential to protecting economic growth, attracting capital and securing Malaysia’s long-term prosperity.
Cities have shown that a combination of adaptation measures and energy efficiency can save lives, improve well-being, reduce energy costs, and create conditions for sustainable growth. A new partnership seeks to help mayors and city leaders scale up these efforts through technical and financial assistance.

Only then can the huge female agricultural labour force reach its potential to ensure food security and drive economic growth.
