Embrace net zero to stop climate change


WHAT has happened to Malaysia’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40%?

Come November 2021, the Glasgow UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) meeting will discuss the next move in the plan to fight climate change. Many countries have declared that they are embracing net zero, or carbon neutrality, when no new emissions are added to the atmosphere. Emissions will instead be balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere. Absorption can be done through forests sinks or carbon capture, storage and utilisation.
