ABOUT SCCIC 2021

​

Climate change impacts are being felt across Southeast Asia, a region where expanding population is challenged by rising temperatures, increasing droughts, associated fires and haze, and frequent heavy rainstorms - causing inland and coastal flooding, as well as threatening food security.

​

The Sabah Climate Change International Conference (SCCIC) 2021 is timely and in line with the aspiration of the Sabah State Policy on the Environment and the Sustainable Development Goals to address climate change impacts both locally and globally and to provide an avenue for all relevant stakeholder’s to participate in climate change mitigation and adaptation initiatives.

​

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this conference is organised as a hybrid event providing a platform to various stakeholders to learn about climate change, its causes and impacts, as well as strengthening resilience and diversity through management of the environment and economy. Over two days, the conference will gather global participants including youths from Sabah with various backgrounds, to draw their insights and experiences about their efforts and initiatives to prevent the continuous increase of global warming.
