Festival Alam Sekitar #MYTogetherPossible 2023 Nurtures Sustainable Youths
YB Dato Hajjah Hanifah highlighted the importance of the involvement of youth in the conservation of nature. “We are at a crossroads where environmental challenges demand innovative solutions, and the energy, passion, and fresh perspectives of the youth are invaluable in shaping a sustainable future,” she said in her speech. She also outlined the relationship between a healthy planet and a prosperous economy, and how sustainable development requires the involvement of society as a whole. “The Sustainable Development Agenda requires holistic and inclusive involvement and tenacity from all Malaysians. Thus, not only awareness at the grassroots level should be improved, but it should also be expressed through actions and deeds,” she added.
Sophia Lim, Executive Director/CEO of WWF-Malaysia, shared about the importance of youth mobilisation efforts carried out by WWF-Malaysia in her speech. "Our vision is to reverse the decline of nature and transform Malaysia into a sustainable nation by 2030. Youth play an important role in achieving this vision and in continuing our legacy and efforts to protect our planet," she said.
Lim also shared her appreciation for Kelab Belia Prihatin Malaysia, co-organiser of Festival Alam Sekitar #MYTogetherPossible 2023. She acknowledged Luqman Hakim Md Zim, President of Kelab Belia Prihatin Malaysia as one of the youth leaders who is the pride of WWF-Malaysia. Luqman Hakim is one of the recipients of the Eco-Champions Award 2022 organised by WWF-Malaysia.
As a symbol of strengthening efforts and cooperation for the environment and nature, the #TumbuhBersama pledge was led by Luqman Hakim, and witnessed by YB Dato Hajjah Hanifah Hajar Taib, Malaysia's Deputy Minister of Economy.
The launch ceremony of Festival Alam Sekitar #MYTogetherPossible 2023 also saw the presentation of prizes to the winners of the Climate Communication Challenge. The Climate Communication Challenge is a competition for youth from universities across Malaysia to create digital content to share knowledge about climate change and the concept of Net Zero. This challenge was organised by WWF-Malaysia with the support of Green Growth Asia Foundation, Young Reporters for the Environment and IMU Cares.
Throughout the festival, youth and visitors were able to explore sustainable activities such as mangrove forest exploration, learning about the Interceptor machine, tree-planting, and upcycling of used materials such as cooking oil and clothes.
