A review on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation: Gaps of governance in Malaysia
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
As global climate factors have changed, the number and severity of climate-related disasters has enormously increased. Adapting the strategy to the disaster risk reduction objective and factoring in climate change are essential for optimal disaster risk governance. The purpose of this article is to examine the current gaps in Malaysia practices on disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. This study used the search in Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to conduct a literature assessment of journal articles published in the last decade on disaster risk reduction, climate change, and governance under specific conditions. DRR and CCA's purview includes the overarching topic of search. Due to the scarcity of data on DRR and CCA in Malaysia, we have reviewed local publications, policy documents, and other sources of information. There is a lack of study on contemporary governance in Malaysia, such as the lack of an updated and complete policy, obstacles in the involvement of many disciplines and the sharing of data, and a lack of a prominent plan, despite evidence that the subject is actively debated around the world. The study concluded that it is promising area for future study to enhance disaster risk governance on how to incorporate the climate change agenda into disaster risk reduction plans in Malaysia.
