Research reaching practice
The Malaysian Youth Delegation uses urban-heat research involving Professor Amir to explain the relationship between vegetation loss, urban development and heat in Greater Kuala Lumpur.
How the research was used
The urban-adaptation section draws on the 2018 Greater Kuala Lumpur review when discussing land-use change, vegetation loss and blue-green urban environments. The article translates that research connection into a public explanation of climate adaptation.
The documented contribution
The contribution is public climate communication based on coauthored research. The article does not report a personal interview or government appointment.
