Eleven NGOs seek UN's clarification of not being involved in Sabah carbon deal

KOTA KINABALU: Eleven non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are seeking United Nations help to clarify and clear the air on legal issues over the Sabah government's Nature Conservation Agreement (NCA) for carbon credit trading.

The groups involving four Sabah-based NGOs as well as national and regional groups have sent a letter to the UN to look into various aspects of the deal that allegedly ran afoul of international standards and laws among others.
