NDC Roadmap, LT-LEDS to steer Malaysia's greenhouse gas cuts
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is strengthening its commitment to the climate change agenda through the launch of the Nationally Determined Contribution Roadmap and Action Plan (NDC RAP) and Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS), which aim for sustainable reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) said in a statement today that these two important documents served as key guides for the country's efforts to achieve GHG emission reduction targets by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. 'The NDC RAP document encompasses strategies for implementing actions to achieve Malaysia's GHG emission reduction targets by 2030. 'Meanwhile, Malaysia's LT-LEDS contains GHG emission projections up to 2050, as well as mitigation strategies and measures to support Malaysia's aspiration to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050,' the statement said. The launch of both documents was officiated by Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad at Malaysia's First Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) Appreciation and Dissemination Ceremony held here on May 6. According to the statement, both documents are 'living documents' that will be updated periodically based on developments and directions related to climate change in Malaysia and internationally. NRES hopes that these documents will serve as a reference for stakeholders in formulating actions to address climate change issues and contribute to low-carbon and climate-resilient development in Malaysia.

NRES unveils roadmap, strategy to cut GHG emissions under Paris Agreement
PUTRAJAYA: The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry (NRES) has developed two key documents - an action plan and implementation guide - to ensure Malaysia meets its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets under the Paris Agreement. The documents comprise 'The Nationally Determined Contribution Roadmap and Action Plan (NDC RAP)' and 'The Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS)'. The NDC RAP outlines strategic measures to achieve Malaysia's 2030 GHG emission reduction targets. 'The LT-LEDS, meanwhile, projects GHG emissions up to 2050, detailing mitigation strategies to support Malaysia's aspiration of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050,' a statement by NRES today read. NRES said both documents are 'living documents' that will be periodically updated to reflect evolving climate change priorities at both national and international levels.

NRES takes lead in Malaysia's international climate change reporting
KUALA LUMPUR: The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry (NRES) remains committed to its role as the country's focal point for climate change reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in line with the Paris Agreement. Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said among the country's milestones in this agenda are the preparation of the Fourth National Communication (NC4), the first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) in 2024, and the Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) document. He said findings from BTR1 served as input for strategic documents such as the Malaysia Plans, national policies, and technical inputs for the Nationally Determined Contribution Roadmap and Action Plan (NDC RAP), LT-LEDS and the upcoming National Climate Change Bill. 'The industry, academia and other stakeholders also refer to BTR1 for ESG requirements and corporate reporting. 'Hence, BTR1 is not just a national-level technical report, but a knowledge instrument and policy action tool with long-term implications for national development,' he said at the BTR1 Malaysia Announcement and Appreciation Ceremony here today. Meanwhile, NRES, in a statement, said the NDC RAP and LT-LEDS were presented to the Cabinet and approved on March 21. It said both documents support Malaysia's joint efforts in addressing climate change at the domestic and international levels, particularly in achieving the country's NDC target by 2030 and its net-zero aspiration by 2050.
