Introduction: Climate change are any change of climate that is attributed
directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere
and that is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable periods.
Climate change has become a global environmental issue which dominates the international
agenda and one of the most challenging issues for mankind.Research methodology: This
paper involved with secondary data which are collected from journal, proceedings, books
and internet sources regarding the topic. Result and discussion: Malaysia could be
considered as a free zone from climate related disaster. However, mild climate related
disasters are quite frequent to happen lately. The potential impacts of climate change in the
Malaysian context would include sea level rise, reduced crop yields, greater diseases among
forest species and biodiversity loss, erosion of shorelines, increased flood intensities, coral
reef bleaching, increased incidences of disease, tidal inundation of coastal areas, decreased
water availability, loss of biodiversity, and more droughts. To tackle the scenarios, Malaysia
adopts ‘precautionary principles’ to mitigate and adapt to climate change. However, the
important and immediate action needed in mitigating the climate change effects is the
actively participating and involving the public in this issue.Conclusion: Malaysia has made
significant progress in setting up legal framework for the implementation of climate change
mitigation and voluntary environmental disclosure. Improving education, training and
public awareness on climate change is an important measure for persuading the whole of
society to jointly participate in activities for the mitigation of an adaptation to climate
change.
