Through direct collaboration with the Z Zurich Foundation and the appointed global partners, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) is set to combine efforts with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH), whilst the Resilient Cities Network (R-Cities) will join forces with Majlis Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah (MBMB).”

Datuk Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh, Kuala Lumpur Mayor, said, “KL is beginning to see the devastating impacts of extreme heat and floods more frequently. As the local authority, I recognise it is important that Kuala Lumpur City Hall acts now to ensure a safe and resilient tomorrow, especially for our most vulnerable populations. In KL, we are always thinking ahead as we build a future where everyone can thrive even as our climate changes. In line with this as well as the spirit of Malaysia Madani, Kuala Lumpur City Hall is looking forward to partnering with C40 and the Z Zurich Foundation to further strengthen our city’s climate resilience through the Urban Climate Resilience Program, which will be undertaken with deep community engagement in selected neighbourhoods in our city.”

Datuk Hj. Shadan Hj. Othman, Melaka Mayor, said, “Being a historic city with UNESCO World Heritage status, we recognise the importance of building community resilience to carry our cultural heritage forward in the face of climate challenges. Thus, it is with great enthusiasm that the City of Melaka is joining the new Urban Climate Resilience Programme. I look forward to working closely with the Resilient Cities Network and the Z Zurich Foundation to create a more sustainable and resilient future for our communities, our city, and our country.”

The objective of this programme is to build sustainable, resilient communities that can withstand, recover from, and thrive in the face of climate-related disasters. Zurich Malaysia aims to be at the forefront of bringing impactful changes in the adaptation of systems in selected cities in Malaysia, ensuring enhanced support for those who are vulnerable.
