Climate change is often framed as a global crisis, but its impacts are local.
When stories are told only from a distant, global lens, the issue can feel abstract and disconnected from our lives here in Malaysia. And that is why localised, humanised, and solutions-focused storytelling is so important; it makes climate change tangible and relevant.
Through the PANAS! Climate Change Stories in Malaysia initiative, five grantees have produced powerful articles capturing how communities across Malaysia are experiencing and responding to climate change, from indigenous knowledge to adaptation practices, from changing weather to community-led innovations.
🇲🇾 This Malaysia Day, we celebrate these voices and perspectives that bring the climate conversation home. We invite you to read and share these stories because building a stronger climate discourse begins with amplifying our own.
A big thank you to the International Science Council Asia-Pacific and INGSA-Asia for supporting this initiative. With this, we wrap up our Grassroots Science Advice project and open the door for many more local climate stories to be told.
