We've been talking about the climate crisis for years, and we know the stakes are high. The challenge now is turning what we know into action, and doing it quickly enough to make a difference. That was a key focus of the Global Tipping Points Conference 2026, which recently wrapped up in Malaysia with a call for action across governments, businesses, researchers and communities. Now, we're looking at what comes next. What should we expect from the conference's outcomes, where does Asia go from here, and what can the latest evidence on climate change and health tell us about the urgency of the task? To help us unpack all this, we're joined by Professor Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood, Executive Director of the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health at Sunway University. We'll also look at the latest Lancet Countdown report and what its findings mean for our health, and the action needed to protect it.

Climate change, ferocious weather and ‘the haze’ are now part our everyday lives. How are our lifestyles connected to them, and what can we do about it? What does the economy have to do with it? Earth Matters engages with activists and experts to explore our changing relationship with the planet that we only borrow from our children.
