In recent years, the global urgency to combat climate change and environmental degradation has spurred regulators around the world to tighten climate-related policies. Malaysia is no exception.
The impending National Climate Change Bill—a comprehensive framework for national climate action—will serve as a cornerstone in aligning the country’s ambitions with its net-zero goal by 2050.
