No need to declare climate emergency in Malaysia just yet, says environment minister

Minister of Environment and Water Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man told the Dewan Rakyat, Malaysia’s People’s Assembly, that there is “no need” for the government to declare a climate emergency yet. He said that the government is already carrying out various initiatives to reduce emissions, such as an upcoming carbon pricing policy. It is also increasing the country’s renewable energy generation capacity. The government is keeping a close eye on mitigation efforts to ensure there is no drastic increase in temperatures, said Tuan Ibrahim.
