LAST month, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that at the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, Malaysia would pledge to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45% across the economy by 2030, and aspire to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
But achieving this target is subject to the Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy (LT-LEDS) that will be finalised by the end of 2022. We cannot wait that long because the climate catastrophe is not going to wait.
