Promoting green growth under environmental law as measures to reduce carbon emission and regulate air pollution: why it matters for Malaysia?

The risk of global climate change has seen efforts taken by nations all over the world to reduce their carbon emission as steps to limit the increase of global temperature. For many developing countries, tackling carbon emission is a complicated task due to a number of environmental constraints they...

description The risk of global climate change has seen efforts taken by nations all over the world to reduce their carbon emission as steps to limit the increase of global temperature. For many developing countries, tackling carbon emission is a complicated task due to a number of environmental constraints they faced including inefficient technology, weak governance and low per capita income. Insofar as Malaysia is concerned, main contributors towards environmental pollution have always been associated with economic-related activities including that from industrial, construction and plantation sectors.
