KUALA LUMPUR - To help Malaysia head off frequent floods and choking air pollution caused by forest fires, new Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim should tap more global green funding to protect nature and tackle the effects of warming, climate change experts say.
“Recognising the climate emergency, recognising the importance of adaptation and loss and damage - there is a lot that can be done,” she said in an interview. Meanwhile, despite being one of the world’s 17 countries with mega-rich biodiversity, Malaysia is also a major producer of palm oil, timber and timber products - which many environmentalists have blamed for high deforestation rates.
Although Malaysia often suffers monsoon-season flooding - which forests can help mitigate - climate change and the environment were largely absent in last year’s election. After the severe floods in late 2021, for example, Malaysia sought US$3 million from the donor-backed Green Climate Fund to develop a national plan to adapt to climate change.
Ms Nur Sakeenah Omar, a campaigner at Greenpeace Malaysia, said Mr Anwar, who this month visited neighbouring Indonesia on his first overseas trip as leader, should also introduce a clean air or transboundary haze pollution act.
