Setting down roots for a sustainable future in Penang

PETALING JAYA: Penang is well poised to plant well over half a million trees over the next few years as part of its efforts to create a healthy and sustainable environment, while ensuring human well-being and biodiversity conservation.

Its ambition received yet another boost with its embrace of the Penang Nature-Based Climate Adaptation Programme (NBCAP), an initiative mooted by Think City in 2019, and is now touted as Malaysia’s first ever NBCAP tailored for its unique tropical conditions.
