2026 CCDR full report and overview archived. Existing qualitative themes retained; quantitative scenario extraction and sensitivity checks pending.

Risk evidence methodology

Themes are not rankings. Comparable risk analysis requires:

  • 1

    Hazard

    How often and how intensely the event occurs.

  • 2

    Exposure

    People, assets and ecosystems in harm's way.

  • 3

    Vulnerability

    Sensitivity and capacity to cope or adapt.

  • 4

    Observed losses

    Recorded damage — kept separate from losses attributed to climate change.

  • 5

    Projections

    How the risk is expected to change in future scenarios.

马来西亚气候冲击人口暴露率与洪涝灾害基线

Quote supports 23% population exposed to climate shocks, with latest supplied PDF page 20 versus earlier page 29 retained in history. 130,000 annually flood-affected and $1.8B damages lack a corresponding quote/document page. Existing 2050 GDP projection retained with its separate citation; no APPGM-SDG outcome established.

Reported citation: Malaysia Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) · 2026 · PDF page 20

Malaysia ranked 132nd out of 168 countries in terms of population exposed to climate shocks, with 23 percent of the population exposed (Doan et al. 2024), mainly to coastal and river floods.

全国约 23% 的人口暴露于气候冲击(主要是沿海与河流洪水)

Supplied page: PDF p. 20 (latest supplied; earlier p. 29 retained)

Malaysia ranked 132nd out of 168 countries in terms of population exposed to climate shocks, with 23 percent of the population exposed (Doan et al. 2024), mainly to coastal and river floods.

Economic impact

Up to 8.3% GDP

Projected cost by 2050; most pessimistic scenario

Submitted extraction — not independently verified

在最悲观气候情景下,到 2050 年气候变化预计使马来西亚付出高达 GDP 8.3% 的代价;若热浪后遭受 20 年一遇的洪水,单年 GDP 损失可能超过 20%

Supplied page: p. 29

At the macroeconomic level, climate change is expected to cost Malaysia up to 8.3 percent of its GDP by 2050 under the most pessimistic scenario, with larger losses possible... If a one-in-20-year flood were to hit following an extended heatwave, GDP losses could exceed 20 percent in a single year

Population extract: PDF p. 20 (latest supplied; earlier p. 29 retained)

Malaysia ranked 132nd out of 168 countries in terms of population exposed to climate shocks, with 23 percent of the population exposed (Doan et al. 2024), mainly to coastal and river floods.

Economic extract: p. 29

At the macroeconomic level, climate change is expected to cost Malaysia up to 8.3 percent of its GDP by 2050 under the most pessimistic scenario, with larger losses possible... If a one-in-20-year flood were to hit following an extended heatwave, GDP losses could exceed 20 percent in a single year

The >20% figure is a single-year compound heatwave + 1-in-20-year flood event, not an annual average.

Caveats: Quote supports 23% population exposed to climate shocks, with latest supplied PDF page 20 versus earlier page 29 retained in history. 130,000 annually flood-affected and $1.8B damages lack a corresponding quote/document page. Existing 2050 GDP projection retained with its separate citation; no APPGM-SDG outcome established.
