The International Community has designated “Sustainable Development” as a central issue for the future of humanity. Here in Malaysia, the Environmental Protection Society Malaysia or EPSM, has been working towards that goal for about two decades now, through its Local Communities and the Environment programme, and also its ‘Sustainable Living in Malaysia’ (SLiM) programme. Nithi Nesadurai, the President of the Environmental Protection Society Malaysia, joins us to share more about the work carried out by the organisation, and to discuss the upcoming Sustainability Malaysia – SLiM 2017 conference, which is themed "Hope and Promise for the Future."
