Climate Conferencing at the Malaysian Parliament.
It seems like the oscars of the climate civil society in ASEAN, with Parliamentarians, Civil Society, Think Tanks and Academics brain storming ways to integrate climate thinking into policy participation.
Nadia from Klima Action raised a powerful point.
It was great to meet old friends from the civil society as well as Leader of the Opposition in Singapore, Mr. Pritam Singh, ex NMP Anthea Ong among others.
As a stakeholder engagement specialist, the forum itself is the message. Wicked problems are inherently Multi stakeholder, and elected politicians have more pressing elections to win at intervals. Climate matters when constituents reel under a flood or a heatstroke and agrarian patterns change and lead to job losses.
Climate financing, the topic of my PhD was raised again and again, as climate resilient infrastructure needs money and money moves things.
