14 Introduction GT Baseline LOW CARBON CITIES INITIATIVES (LCCF) Other Green Technology Initiatives Next Steps

15 Population Malaysia MALAYSIA & URBANISATION A Case for Change 18 million (1990) to 27.6 million (2010) - increase by 53% (Source: Census Data, 2010) Urbanization Rate 27% in 1960, 42% in 1990, 54% in 1994 and 61.8% (2000) for Malaysia Expected to grow to 75% by 2020 (Source: RFN 2001) Energy Energy Consumption 61,279 metric tons (40% transportation & 40% industrial) (2005) Energy Produced 99,917 metric tons (2005) 2006 : CO2 emission 187 million tons 7.2 metric tons/person

16 TOWNSHIPS AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Sources of Green House Gas CO2 is the most important anthropogenic of GHG and the main sources of atmospheric CO2 is from burning of fossil fuels 75% of increase in atmospheric CO2 since industrial times (Source: Cities and Climate Change Global Report on Human Settlements 2011, UN-Habitat).

17 Low Carbon Cities Framework and Assessment System This document is to assist local authorities, township developers, designers and individuals in assessing whether developments carried out within the city contributes towards the reduction or decrease in GHG

18 PURPOSE OF LCCF AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM Objective of Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF) & Assessment system Users To encourage & promote the concept of low carbon cities and townships in Malaysia. To increase the compatibility of cities/townships with their local natural system. To guide cities in making choice/decisions towards greener solutions. All Cities & Townships in Malaysia It is my dream that one day we can live in a clean, healthy and high quality environment, where cities, townships and communities are built on the fundamentals of Green Technology YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak Targets To reduce carbon emission intensity by 40% per GDP per capita by the year of 2020
