It has been more than 10 years since Malaysia ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and developments since then have been encouraging, both locally and globally. Foremost is the ratification of the Kyoto Protocaol by Russia in 2004, which allowed for it to enter into forece on 16 February this year. Although Malaysia, as a Non-Annex 1 Party to the Kyoto Protocol that was ratified in 2002, has no obligations towards reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, the Government has taken the necessary steps to tackle the challenges brought about by climate change.
The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) is a repository of information concerning hazards and disasters that have happened in the region. The platform is open for public, which means that the public can submit information about any hazard and disaster to the AHA Centre. Thereafter, the AHA Centre will verify and validate any submitted information to ensure the accuracy of the data inputs. The AHA Centre can also add new information when relevant and as necessary. ADINet has been recording disaster information in the region since the AHA Centre was operational in 2012.
