Item Embargo Climate change adaptation provisions for the agricultural sector in Malaysia(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2015) Nazneen Jabin; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Fatimah KariMalaysia has been experiencing an unusual harsh mixture of droughts and extreme rainfall events at present. As consequence, significant fall in crop production will be caused in the coming years. Current agriculture adaptation strategies are not significantly enough to cope with this issue. Therefore, this study aims to capture the scenarios in the field of climate change adaptation. The main focus of this study is to chalk out the adaptation efforts that the government and local stakeholders should consider. This study identifies the challenges associated with the implementation of adaptation options for the agricultural sector in response to climate change. Furthermore, this study presents some insight on the possible future strategies for adaptation that legislators may consider in designing and formulating the policy which may ultimately help the agricultural sector of Malaysia to be effective.Item Embargo Estimating farmers' willingness to pay for climate change adaptation: the case of the Malaysian agricultural sector(Springer, 2015) Muhammad Mehedi Masud; Ha Junsheng; Rulia Akhtar; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Fatimah Binti KariThis paper estimates Malaysian farmers' willingness to pay (WTP) for a planned adaptation programme for addressing climate issues in the Malaysian agricultural sector. We used the contingent valuation method (CVM) for a monetary valuation of farmers' preferences for a planned adaptation programme by ascertaining the value attached to address climatic issues in the Malaysian agricultural sector. Structured questionnaires were distributed among the sampled farmers.Item Embargo Impact of climate change: an empirical investigation of Malaysian rice production(Springer, 2012) Muhammad Mehedi Masud; Md. Saifur Rahman; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Fatimah Kari; Walter Leal FilhoThis paper examines the possible impact of climate change on Malaysian rice production. Using the Ricardian Method and farm household data, we have examined the effects on rice producers focusing on sharecropper adaptations and ecological causes. The principle goal of this research paper is to investigate the impact of climate variables such as temperature, rainfall and precipitation on rice production during main and off seasons, in Kedah, Malaysia. The main purpose of this paper is to examine how climate change affects the net income of paddy farmers in the study area.Item Embargo Prioritizing climate change mitigation: An assessment using Malaysia to reduce carbon emissions in future(Springer, 2015) Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Rajah Rasiah; Santha ChenayahThis study examines empirically climate change related vulnerability impacts, and remedial options as an optimal and applicable strategy by prioritizing needs in climate change mitigation over 95 years. An Empirical Downscaling Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (EDDICE) is deployed using an optimal scenario for Malaysia against a baseline scenario of existing conditions following the top-down disaggregation strategy recommended by other studies.Item Embargo Revisiting the social cost of carbon after INDC implementation in Malaysia: 2050(Springer, 2019) Md. Sujahangir Kabir Sarkar; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Walter Leal FilhoThis article projects the social cost of carbon (SCC) and other related consequences of climate change by using Malaysia’s intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) and climate vision 2040 (CV2040) by 2050. It compares the projections derived from the Dynamic Integrated Model of the Climate and Economy (DICME) based on the respective INDC and CV2040 scenario.
