In this round-up of top environmental news from the month past, we first look back at the major outcomes of COP29 involving climate financing, then at how two cities in Malaysia were ranked globally for their efforts to combat the effects of climate change through the One Planet City Challenge by WWF. Finally we wonder how Ecological Fiscal Transfers in Malaysia actually work, and how and to whom the funds are disbursed. Joining us as always are the co-founders of environmental journalism portal Macaranga, Law Yao Hua and Wong Siew Lyn.
