On paper, Malaysia has one of the best sets of environment-related policies and plans,
which are as good as some of those of developed countries. First, we have the National
Environmental Policy, which we adopted in 1992, that strives to promote development
through environmentally sound and sustainable development.
Next, there is the National Energy Policy that endeavours to minimise the negative
impacts of energy production and consumption on the environment; the National Forest
Policy that seeks to safeguard our forests – our indispensable carbon sinks; the
Biodiversity Policy that aims to conserve our country’s rich biodiversity; and many many
more.
In addition, we urge the government to swiftly consolidate all the existing climate-related
policies into a bold and just National Climate Policy, followed by an action plan, so that
our country can be more focused in its efforts in tackling climate change.
The costs of your inaction will fall upon your children, it will fall upon us.
Yours sincerely
