Malaysian Youth Delegation (MYD) established in 2015 with the ultimate aim of representing Malaysian Youth in global climate change arena. After 2 years of hard effort, we hereby proudly announce that MYD is still standing strong and ready to kick climate change’s ass again.

MYD term 2017 officially kickstarted 2 weeks ago after roughly 1.5 months of recruitment.

So, a basic recap of WHO ARE WE,

The Malaysian Youth Delegation (MYD) is the voice of the Malaysian youth climate movement at international United Nations climate conferences, UNFCCC. We strike to represent the demand of a generation and to advocate for a just, safe, and livable future for all. Our core objectives are to

• Represent youth climate movement in Malaysia
• Educate Malaysians on UNFCCC and Malaysian climate policy
• Hold our leaders accountable for the promises and actions responsible for climate change
• Act in solidarity with frontline communities for those suffering the effects of climate change in Malaysia and across the globe

In order to achieve all the 4 objectives, we have planned out our MYD17 roadmap.
