Need for more climate action

Heating up: Extreme weather events, such as California’s ongoing and months-long wildfires, are worsening around the globe and scientists report that they are the result of climate change.

ENERGY, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister, Yang Berhormat Yeo Bee Yin, addressed the high-level segment of the UN climate change conference in Poland on Wednes­day. The Malaysian Youth Delega­tion (MYD) present at the conference welcomes the minister’s statement as she called for more trust from developed nations and more international cooperation in the fight against the climate crisis.

MYD is an NGO comprising young Malaysians who represent the local youth climate movement at international conferences, such as the 24th Conference of Parties (COP24) in Poland. The annual Conference of Parties is part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
