UN General Assembly
2016

Such extreme weather events have affected economic activities and the livelihoods and safety of people. If left unchecked, I am afraid climate change could, in fact, constitute the greatest threat multiplier for global security. Realizing the increasingly urgent need to address the impact of climate change, we came together in Paris last December and took the historic step of adopting the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. We must now follow through and carry out the commitments assumed thereunder. Malaysia is committed to reducing the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions of its gross domestic product by up to 45 percent by 2030. Malaysia is currently working towards its ratification of the Paris Agreement.
