Malaysia is adopting a voluntary national reduction indicator of up to 40% in terms of GDP emission intensity by 2020 compared with 2005 levels. The Kyoto Protocol has set emissions reductions targets for the period 2008 to 2012. New greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets for subsequent years is negotiated in Copenhagen now.
Malaysia was committed to doing its best to combat climate change.
But how?
Is it enough by reducing greenhouse emission gas, maintaining 75% green forested areas, transfer of technology from advance research and practice from developed countries and adequate financing?
More actions needed. Including country's ambition to increase scientists and engineers in the country either by training locals or import from outside (?), identify climate change related items and focus in administration, governance, training, research and financial allocation. It is not an easy task for the country if not seriously conducted and managed.
