As a result of a research grant between the Faculty of Law Universitas Trisakti and the Faculty of Law at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam, Malaysia, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held on June 4, 2024, in Kuala Lumpur, at the Faculty of Law, UiTM. The theme of this FGD is highly relevant to the current climate change situation, focusing on the awareness of young people regarding extreme climate change and its impact on their mental health. The FGD team also discussed the need for implementing legal frameworks to address and prevent environmental anxiety.
