NRECC Ministry: Balancing Trade-Offs In Climate Change Action

Under the new government, the portfolio held previously by two ministries has been merged into one: the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change. It’s a behemoth portfolio helmed by Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad with implications for the sustainability of the country, especially amid a global push towards renewable energy and reduction of fossil fuel usage. How should the government navigate the demands for sustainable economic activity while at the same time building resilience against climate change impact? We discuss policy recommendations with Alizan Mahadi of ISIS Malaysia.
