Following Malaysia’s global commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050, several measures are expected to kick in this year to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.
The most important of this will be the tabling of the Climate Change Bill in Parliament, anticipated as early as this month.In the works since 2018 when Pakatan Harapan first came into power, the Climate Change Bill, if tabled and passed, will see Malaysia joining countries like Australia, Britain and the United States which have similar legislations to tackle carbon emissions.
However, with the change in government following the 15th General Election, Nik Azmi Nik Ahmad is now the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister. Many will also be watching if the new Malaysia Unity Government will keep several of the green and sustainable initiatives under Budget 2023, which was tabled but never passed as the election was called.
This year will also mark the start of enforcement for one of Malaysia’s proposals to Cites , which was to list the white-rumped sharma songbird for protection in Appendix I for the first time .
