Journey realizing Vision 2020‐ A
fully developed nation along all
dimensions – economically,

psychologically and culturally by
2020.

The increase emissions from 256.3 million (1994) to317.6 million (2014)over time is from energy sector while
LULUCF sink capacity has stabilised. The GHG per capita is
10.343 tCO2 eq/capita and 0,3137kgCO2/RM eq.
The GHG emission intensity per unit GDP had improved
33% by 2014 compared with 2005 levels.
The population and GDP increase is 17.9% and 53.5%
respectively over 2005‐2014

WHY GO FOR LOW CARBON?
MALAYSIA COMMITMENT“..Malaysia is adopting an indicator of avoluntary reduction up to 40% in termsof emission intensity of GDP by the year
2020 compared to 2005 levels.”- COP15 Copenhagen December 2009“..Reduction up to 45% in terms ofemission intensity of GDP by the year
2030 compared to 2005 levels as
indicated in INDC submitted to COP21.”- COP21 Paris December 2015

CONCLUSION
1) Technology transfer and international collaboration inCity Climate Actions at city level to achieving
Low Carbon Societies
2) Implementation of new technologies in Malaysia‐a)Innovation – Green technology application (EE measureseg LED, space cooling, SW, Rain harvesting,b) Capacity building – Tokyo‐ Kuala Lumpur City Collaboration
on Energy management, SATREPS JICA/JST, AIMS –NIES, GCOM,UCLG workshopc) Stakeholder involvement ‐ Community engagement withlocal authorities , NGOs and Business communities
3) It CAN be done! If we ALL WORK TOGETHER! Good
News:Because it HAS been done!
