This report is the Malaysia component of Phase I of ASEAN Green Future project to conduct research and advocacy work on achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. The remit of Phase I is to provide an overview of the present activities related to greenhouse emissions in each ASEAN country, to take stock of the climate actions that have been implemented, and those scheduled for implementation in the future, and to assess the accumulated research on greenhouse gas emissions.
Phase 2 of this research endeavour will involve forward-looking technology road mapping on selected decarbonization options to help put Malaysia on a path to net zero. Each technology roadmap will undergo four complementary analyses: technical feasibility, financial feasibility, socio-economic impact, and carbon footprint.
One of the report's recommendation is to draw out constructive inputs from stakeholders to develop a framework for decarbonization and energy efficiency improvements, from now to 2050. The framework will cover specific technological solutions and wider themes that are key to an industrial strategy. It will also identify commitments required by all parties to enable the low-carbon transition.
