Speaker dan Projek:



1. Muhammad Firdaus Ammar Bin Abdullah, Principal Assistant Director, Research & Technical Development Division, Met Malaysia

The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) programme is a collaborative initiative between the Met Office UK and global counterparts, including the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), Met Malaysia, the Department of Drainage and Irrigation (JPS), and the National Hydraulic Research Institute (NAHRIM) in Malaysia. Launched in 2016, WCSSP aims to develop and improve global and regional forecasting systems and advance the understanding of high-impact weather such as heavy rainfall events and tropical cyclones in Southeast Asia.



2. Prof Joy Jacqueline Pereira, Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Initiative (SEADPRI-UKM), and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

The Multi-Hazard Platform (MHP) was developed by the University of Cambridge and the Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute (SEADPRI-UKM) to provide forecasting at the local level of climate extremes and physical hazards in Kuala Lumpur. The system provides hi-res 3-day forecasts for rainfall, temperature and air pollution and combines this data with information on areas susceptible to landslides, flash-floods and sinkholes to create a hazard map to inform emergency response.



3. Sr Dr Noralfishah Binti Sulaiman, KANZU Research: Resilient Built Environment, University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia

Led by the University of Salford in partnership with University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, MOBILISE is a collaborative multi-agency digital platform for building resilient communities in Sarawak, offering intelligence to a range of agencies to work together to reduce the impact of natural disasters. It helps agencies establish a common understanding of vulnerabilities, exploring “what-if” scenarios, the impact of various hazards on infrastructure, the community and the economy in different local contexts, and improving resilience capacities through various mitigation measures. Building on existing partnerships from the MOBILISE projects, TRANSCEND investigates processes, governance structures, policies and technology that can enable a transition towards a more risk-sensitive and transformative urban development approach. It uses a multi-stakeholder approach to analyse, forecast, visualize and debate disaster risk trade-offs and choose development plans that ensure sustainability and equitable resilience, giving consideration to climate change adaptation.



4. Rebecca Beckett, International Expert Meteorologist, Met Office UK (Chair)

Panel Discussion: “International Collaboration for Climate Adaptation and Resilience”


4. Segala perhatian dan kerjasama daripada YBhg. Datuk/Dato’/Prof./Dr./Tuan/Puan amat dihargai dan didahului dengan ucapan terima kasih.
