Malaysia needs to establish independent commission on climate change

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia needs to establish an independent commission on climate change to monitor and report on annual carbon dioxide emission reduction milestones, either to the public or parliament so as to keep track of the nation’s progress in becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

Past president of the Federation of Private Medical Associations, Dr Milton Lum said 2050 was a long way ahead but the question was what were the milestones that the country wants to achieve on the way there and who reported the milestones and to whom.
