Climate change is often discussed in terms of targets, pledges and long-term plans.

But what happens when companies make climate claims that may not be true, and when no government agency steps in to investigate?

RimbaWatch has filed what is believed to be the country’s first climate litigation case focused on greenwashing, and we discuss how this landmark legal case could shape how climate claims are regulated in Malaysia.

Joining BFM to explain what this case is about and why it matters is Kuberan Hansrajh Kumaresan, the head of legal advocacy at RimbaWatch.
