9 June 2026 – The Selangor Climate Adaptation Centre (SCAC) and Monash University Malaysia co-hosted the Selangor–Monash Nexus Conference at Sunway Resort Hotel to mark the launch of the project “Building Climate-Resilient Communities through an Integrated Water-Energy-Food-Environment (WEFE) Nexus Model”.
Supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), UK in Malaysia, under the Climate Action for a Resilient Asia (CARA) programme, the initiative establishes a coordinated, systems-thinking framework to safeguard the State’s vital river basins from escalating climate risks.
Cross-sectoral Collaboration for Evidence-based Policy
A core objective of the initiative is strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration between academia, international partners and subnational government entities. The partnership is dedicated to driving evidence-based policy and moving climate adaptation from assessment to practical, state-wide resilience.
Launch of the Sungai Selangor Basin Analysis Portal
The conference also showcased the newly developed Sungai Selangor Basin Analysis Portal, a data-driven platform that enables decision-makers to analyse cross-sector trade-offs and deploy targeted Nature-based Solutions effectively. The portal is accessible at wefe-civilmum.hub.arcgis.com.
SCAC extends its appreciation to the distinguished panellists, speakers and multi-level stakeholders whose contributions and data insights have been foundational to the project from its inception. While the conference has concluded, the strategic partnerships and analytical frameworks established will directly guide the implementation of integrated, climate-smart governance across Selangor.
