there’s this awani video circulating about kiamat iklim 2040 & i believe it’s freaking malaysians out.

to feel scared is valid. but it’s also important to not fall into fatalism & hopelessness. there are many things that you can do to help. i’ll share some of them with you.

let your political leaders know about what they should be doing to tackle the climate crisis.

on this page, i’ve provided IPCC reports & also essay templates to send to your MPs or ADUNs.

i’ve also created this platform where you can educate yourself on environmental issues.

i’ve also provided a list of hotlines to report environmental crimes here & local NGOs that you can support in terms of donations or volunteering.

representation of women across speaking engagements are vital in climate action. their perspective on gender is important in diversifying responsive climate mitigation & adaptation.

invite & include women experts in webinars, forums & interviews. 5050malaysia.com

we must recognise that indigenous peoples are protectors of biodiversity & that their sovereignty must also be protected.

search for #KembalikanTanahAdat, you will find my resources on to create more awareness or even help out. also, read this article.

i also believe (especially for younger children) that it’s important to directly engage with nature.

if you’re in the klang valley or just visiting, go to places like Kebun Kebun Bangsar or volunteer with @freetreesociety. these community-led green spaces have great educators!

individual choices can cascade into radical changes.
