| description | Climate change is imminent with severe significant impact on the nation.
For Malaysia the rising temperature has had major repercussions, one of
which is the rise in sea levels. The recent Asian Development Bank Forum
in early 2020 recognized the challenges, and the effect on coastal nations.
USM studies pointed out the vulnerability of low lying coastal plains such
as that of Kedah, Perak and Selangor, from which our main food resources
grow. Here too are the main population areas and cultural heritage sites.
There will also be a drastic reduction in coastal fisheries resources as
major ecosystems such as coral reefs are obliterated. A rise of 1.5C in
ambient sea temperature of more than 2 days will result in coral bleaching
which may lead to death – a phenomenon of increasingly common
occurrence in the past decades here. |
