He said the role of local authorities in each district is also to create inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements.
"Efforts to give exposure to the role in sustainable development towards a green and habitable environment should continue including government agencies, private sector, educational institutions and the public," said Gunsalam. The state Local Government and Housing Minister added that there should be the implementation of the Green Building Index in building design according to the concept of sustainability where energy, water, and materials are used efficiently
"We need to have a high level of responsibility and awareness in dealing with, reducing and preventing the significant negative impact of climate change," he said."We need to look at it from a more comprehensive aspect, for example Smart City design that is integrated with pedestrian and cycling network systems, road and transport systems with a green concept,” he said.
