Banggi forms action committee to tackle climate change effect on coastal areas

KOTA KINABALU: A climate change adaptation action committee has been formed in Banggi, an area comprising islands off Kudat, to tackle its effects on the coastal areas.

Spearheaded by the Banggi sub-district office, the move was following a 2018 study that found several coastal areas in Banggi - including the entire northern part of Banggi Island and Kampung Batu Sirih on Balambangan Island - are threatened by the impacts of climate change.
