Carbon Management
CALLING FOR ACTION:
THE URGENCY OF CARBON EMISSION MANAGEMENT
FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
The urgency of managing carbon emissions cannot be overstated. The Paris Agreement,
adopted by 196 countries in 2015, aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with
efforts to cap it at 1.5°C. This international treaty underscores the critical need for
immediate and sustained action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Malaysia has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the
goals of the Paris Agreement. As part of its Nationally Determined Contribution
(NDC), Malaysia aims to reduce its economy-wide carbon intensity by 45% by 2030
compared to 2005 level. This ambitious target is part of the country’s broader
strategy to combat climate change and promote sustainable development. The
National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) is a pivotal component of this strategy.
Launched in 2023, the NETR outlines a comprehensive plan to transition from fossil
fuels to renewable energy sources, aiming for 70% renewable energy by 2050. This
roadmap not only addresses climate change but also enhances energy security and
economic resilience.
