Founded in 2015, MYD plays a two-part role of representing Malaysia’s local youth climate movement and raising awareness of climate policies among Malaysians. We have also represented Malaysian youth at international climate conferences, such as the annual Conference of Parties (COP), which is part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Dedicated to making domestic and international climate policies accessible to everyday Malaysians, MYD members are mentored and trained to translate technical policies into relevant and relatable information for the public. MYD holds speaking engagements with various climate organisations and stakeholders to better understand the current landscape of local and international climate policy. Additionally, MYD organises various information sessions and workshops, such as our flagship Training Series, to educate the public on latest updates and important topics in the climate policy realm.
