"Nature-based solutions, social impact."

Think City Environment & Social work looks at the challenges of urban communities in terms of liveability and their resilience towards climate change impacts. Our projects span research, advocacy and designing solutions focusing on social inclusion in public housing, urban safety, health, as well as climate mitigation and adaptation. Our team is pioneering Malaysia’s first urban nature-based solutions programme and developing an ecosystem service initiative focusing on mangroves

“Modern organisations face complex questions. Are we investing in the right talent and assets? Are we capturing the opportunities brought about by technological change? How can we become more resilient and sustainable? ”
