AlterCOP 30 - How Malaysia is Reimagining Climate Action

This week, the world is gathering in Belém, Brazil, for COP30, the global climate summit. But here in Malaysia, a parallel movement is unfolding - AlterCOP 30 Malaysia, a grassroots version that mirrors the urgency of COP while grounding it in local realities. It’s independent, youth-driven, and collaborative, and a place for Malaysians to connect global ambition with local action. We speak to the core team organising this summit - Benoit Rabaud, Wan Hidayat, and Gabriel Hii - about what this grassroots “alternative COP” hopes to achieve, and how it might help Malaysians see their own role in the global climate story.
