Climate emergency: Southeast Asia’s year of extremes

Follow us on our Malay and English WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Tiktok and Youtube channels.

2025 will be remembered as a year when climate extremes turned from risk to reality across Southeast Asia.

Monsoon rains supercharged by warmer oceans have triggered catastrophic floods and landslides, while rare storm formations have tested preparedness and resilience.

Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Fredolin Tangang, an emeritus professor of climatology and climate change at UKM and a fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia, who is currently serving at Universiti Brunei Darussalam.

He is a former vice-chair of working group I of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.
