    Climate change induced adaptation by paddy farmers in Malaysia
    (Springer, 2012) Md. Mahmudul Alam; Chamhuri Siwar; Mohd Ekhwan bin Toriman; Rafiqul Islam Molla; Basri Talib
    The climatic factors are changing very rapidly in Malaysia. For the farmers to adapt with the changes, government and other external agencies are providing several supports. But still there is a gap between farmers' adaptability with climate change and current level of supports. This study uses descriptive statistics, ordinal regression, and percentile analysis to measure the level of farmers' adaptability to climate change as a result of the various existing supports and encouragements provided by the government and other external agencies, and new supports expected by farmers.

    Cost-benefit analysis of climate change mitigation measures in the forestry sector of Peninsular Malaysia
    (Springer, 2021) Asif Raihan; Mohd Nizam Mohd Said
    Malaysia has forest land around 67% of the total land area which helps to mitigate climate change by absorbing atmospheric CO2 and enhancing the national carbon sink. However, there is a lack of study on the cost-effectiveness of potential mitigation measures in the forestry sector of Malaysia (e.g., forest conservation, afforestation, natural regeneration). Therefore, this article attempts to do a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of the potential mitigation measures for 25, 50 and 75 years by considering the discount rate of 0% and 3%.

    Effect of agroclimatic variability on land suitability for cultivating rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) and growth performance assessment in the tropical rainforest climate of Peninsular Malaysia
    (Elsevier, 2020) Mohd Hafiz Mohd Hazir; Radhiah Abdul Kadir; Emanuel Gloor; David Galbraith
    Climate change directly alters climate conditions and indirectly impacts land suitability for cultivating rubber. The Malaysian tropical rainforest climate with regular rainfall of about 2000–2500 mm per year and the average temperature of 26–28 °C provide a suitable condition for planting rubber commercially. There is doubt about how well rubber plants will perform in the future because of climate change. The main question of whether rubber is still appropriate for planting in Peninsular Malaysia must be answered conclusively as rubber requires an approximately 30 year investment in one cycle.

    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 Filho
    This 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.

    Impacts and adaptation to climate change in Malaysian real estate
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2017) Shamsuddin Shahid Sahar Hadi Pour; Xiaojun Wang; Sabbir Ahmed Shourav; Anil Minhans; Tarmizi bin Ismail
    There is a growing concern in recent years regarding climate change risks to real estate in the developed and developing countries. It is anticipated that the property sector could be affected by variable climate and related extremes as well as by the strategies adopted to combat greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper aims to analyse the current knowledge regarding future climate changes to understand their possible impacts on the real estate sector of Malaysia with an aim to help stakeholders to adopt necessary responses to reduce negative impacts.

    Impacts of climate change on oil palm production in Malaysia
    (Springer, 2020) Md. Sujahangir Kabir Sarkar; Rawshan Ara Begum; Joy Jacqueline Pereira
    Studies reveal that climate change (CC) has higher negative impacts on agricultural production than positive impacts. Therefore, this article attempts to explore the impacts of CC on oil palm production in Malaysia and provides mitigation and adaptation strategies towards reducing such impacts.

    Paddy farmers' adaptation practices to climatic vulnerabilities in Malaysia
    (Springer, 2012) Md. Mahmudul Alam; Chamhuri Siwar; Rafiqul Islam Molla; Basri Talib; Mohd Ekhwan bin Toriman
    The climatic factors in Malaysia have been changing very rapidly affecting agricultural productivity and farmers' sustainable livelihood. Agriculture which depends heavily on climate is becoming increasingly vulnerable to risk and uncertainty. In order to face and manage the situation farmers are trying in various ways to adapt to these climatic vulnerabilities. This study analyses paddy farmers' perception of climatic variations and vulnerabilities and focuses on the techniques they use to adapt to the situation.
