With more than 24 million Malaysians living in urban areas, it has and will continue to place great stress on our local resources as we strive to meet needs and demands to support growth and development. These challenges include the impact of urbanization on the environment and climate change, affecting livelihoods, food systems, water and air quality, as well as the socio-economic inequalities of our communities.
Embracing sustainable urbanization brings great opportunities for change, and when well managed and planned, urbanization has the potential to become a positive transformational force for every aspect of sustainable development.
In the context of the climate crisis, addressing climate change also requires transformation, where climate actions with positive impacts can shift and accelerate the trajectory of progress towards a climate-neutral, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development pathway.
MUF2024 aims to explore transformative actions that will catalyze sustainable and resilient urbanization. They seek high-impact initiatives that demonstrate transformative progress despite challenging circumstances and hope to mobilize the leadership of all key stakeholders to bring SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) solutions to scale between now and 2030.
The forum could conduct surveys or collect feedback from local communities to gauge their perceptions, satisfaction, and the effectiveness of the initiatives implemented;
The forum could document and share case studies and success stories that highlight the positive changes and outcomes resulting from sustainable development initiatives in local communities;
The forum could develop specific indicators and metrics to track and measure the progress and impact of sustainable development initiatives on various aspects, such as social, economic, and environmental factors;
The forum could engage in ongoing dialogue and consultation with local communities to understand their needs, aspirations, and challenges. This engagement can provide insights into the effectiveness and impact of the initiatives;
The forum could collaborate with relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, and academic institutions, to establish a monitoring and evaluation framework that assesses the impact of sustainable development initiatives on local communities.
It is important to note that the specific methods used to measure impact may vary depending on the nature of the initiatives and the available resources. MUF may employ a combination of these approaches or develop its own tailored approach to measure the impact of its sustainable development initiatives on local communities.
