“It is necessary for the public to understand basic science and climate change concepts because it will affect everyone on a global scale”.

 

The British High Commission KL, supported by EcoKnights has published the Communicating Science for Climate Action Report, outlining the Malaysian public’s understanding of the drivers and impacts of climate change, and other science-related knowledge. 

 

This report also details the project overview and outcomes of 5 local team grantees who developed science communications material for public use through this 2-month program.

Climate change is causing extreme temperatures, rising sea levels, frequent natural disasters, among other events; this has a detrimental impact on future generations while depriving many the access to basic rights: education, shelter in a safe environment, amongst others.

Malaysia is no exception to these effects. From floods to haze; clean water supply disruption to diseases from improper waste management; these recurring events threaten schooling, health, and living conditions of children and the youth in the country. COVID-19 has intensified the damage being done – causing further harm.

Although children have been a victim of climate issues regularly, their voice has been missing when it comes to climate discourse. For this year’s World Children’s Day 2020, we are giving them a platform to voice out their opinions. UNICEF, UNDP, and EcoKnights surveyed youths in Malaysia through the use of a chat-bot software to discover their thoughts on climate issues and what they think can be done by stakeholders (and themselves) to remedy the situation.
