NRES Climate Change Division Secretary Ahmad Farid Mohammed held discussions with Malaysian representatives attending the conference, including those from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia Youth Delegate (MYD) and Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY).
The meeting provided a platform to exchange views and discuss the representatives’ involvement in COP31 negotiations, particularly on adaptation, Research and Systematic Observation (RSO), the Kyoto Protocol and gender-related issues.
According to a post on NRES’ official Facebook page, the participation of academics, NGOs and youth representatives contributes civil society, research and younger-generation perspectives to international climate discussions.
