Despite the absence of an explicit constitutional right to a healthy environment, former Malaysian Bar Council president Ambiga Sreenevasan said the courts are becoming more receptive to public interest litigation, strengthening avenues for citizens to seek accountability over environmental and climate-related decisions.
Former environment minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad warned prolonged delays to Malaysia's climate change bill and carbon pricing risk undermining investor confidence, while other panellists called for climate change to be treated as a national security issue and greater investment in adaptation.
Twenty years of foreign investment turned a town on Pakistan’s coast into a huge port, which fishers say has made their lives far harder.
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.
