| description | With Malaysia’s commitment to both mitigation and adaptation, the 21st
Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention for
Climate Change in Paris, 2015, will be both an opportunity to showcase
best practices and a forum to promote international ownership of climate
challenge before it becomes a catastrophe. Our experience with weather
extremes is that the best time to intervene is at the risk level via
prevention and preparedness, compared to any wait-and-see approach.
As the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Abdul
Razak, elaborated during the recent 11th Malaysia Plan presentation to
the parliament, ‘such an approach has to be seen as part of adopting
green growth and increasing our commitment to long-term sustainability’.
Malaysia is also aware that this requires policy support, technological
interventions and financial commitment. It is for this reason the Malaysia’s
pledge at the Copenhagen COP-15 was to reduce its carbon emission by
40% from 2005 levels by 2020, subject to technology transfer and financial
support by developed countries. Having achieved a 33% reduction in the
last five years, Malaysia is convinced that it can reach the 40% target
following an inclusive partnership framework for action. |
