The government sees no need to declare a climate emergency in the country as of yet, said Environment and Water Minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

Nonetheless, he said the government is keeping a close eye on mitigation efforts to ensure there is no drastic increase in temperatures.

While acknowledging that climate change has resulted in more floods, he said the government has put in place short-term and long-term plans to both deal with floods and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
