KUALA LUMPUR: The path to net zero, which refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emitted and removed from the air, should be an integrated initiative involving governments, industry and consumers, with policymakers taking the lead to create an ecosystem where all economic players can effectively participate.

Chairman of Malaysia Airlines Bhd, Gas Malaysia Bhd and DRB-Hicom Bhd Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin noted that while there were a lot of commitments by countries as part of the Paris Agreement, there are not many real strategies and implementations planned.
