Due to climate change, Malaysia is projected to experience 200 heat wave days per year by 2050 and a significant increase in floods and storms. This will impact the health and well-being of the population from heat-stress related illness, injury from floods and storms, impact mental health due to loss of property and life, increase allergies due to weather changes, increase vector and water-borne diseases and cause potential malnutrition due to food insecurity.
