KUALA LUMPUR: The Low Carbon Cities Framework is now in place to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40% in 2020.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said it was his aspiration to develop Putrajaya and Cyberjaya as shining examples of eco-friendly townships and to replicate this in other cities in the country.
"The framework is intended to help achieve the goal, assisting local councils, town planners and developers formulate action plans to cut carbon emissions," he said at the International Greentech and Eco-products exhibition and conference.
Najib said there were tremendous potential for green technology growth in Malaysia, especially within the energy, construction, transportation, water and waste management sectors.
