Climate Emergency: Why Every Effort Matters | Big Brain Energy EP 2 | Faizal Parish, Dr. Khamarrul

Climate change and the increasingly frequent occurrence of floods, landslides, and other disasters may seem like a colossal issue that no one individual alone can solve. But who said you have to do it alone?

In this age where carbon footprint trackers are available online, it's easier than ever to start our personal journeys towards sustainability. Dr. Khamarrul Azahari Razak, Director at the Disaster Preparedness & Prevention Center UTM, and Faizal Parish, the director of the Global Environment Centre (GEC), join us on this second episode of Big Brain Energy to talk about all things climate.

What happens if the greenland ice cap melts, or temperatures continue to rise? Could Malaysia be underwater? Watch the full conversation here, where they break down how Malaysians can come together to build the path towards recovery.

You can also watch the full video podcast on our YouTube channel, made in collaboration with the Merdeka Award Trust.

Produced by: Babu Shawn Tanis, Benjamin Yee, Natalie Hussain, Sara Kok

Presented by: Richard Bradbury, Sylvia Wong
