Doha. 30 November 2012 Science to Policy and Policy to Implementation Research: Institutions Academia Policy (IRDA, LAs) Actions on the ground: See and Touch LCS BPs Quantification from LCS modeling assist better understanding on impact of proposed actions, sub actions and programs. Good baseline study, consensus building and low carbon blueprint plan will help to develop an integrated climate resilient, Low carbon framework for a city or region. Green cities or Local carbon cities need to have a LOW CARBON SOCIETIES mindset/ behavior and Joint effort between different professions (Planners, architect, engineer and related environmental profession) Important to have a Asian (eg IGES & AIM workshop) and International platform for research collaboration between researchers in LCS as well as capacity building opportunities.

17 Selection of projects/ programs

18 10 PRIORITY PROJECTS Eco-Life Challenge programme with schools in IM Clean and Green City project - Pasir Gudang Green Transportation - BRT Portal for Green Technology/Human Capital demand Proposed Kulai Eco-preneurial Town GAIA+CASBEE Green Economy Guidelines Introduce low carbon rural tourism packages Solid Waste Management/Audit of government building for EE Reintroduce endemic forest species into existing urban parks - Identify species and locations of trees to be planted

19 Eco-Life Challenge programme with schools To produce IM Eco-Life Challenge module & lesson To conduct Eco-Life Challenge to 50 pilot primary schools To train 50 school counsellors to conduct Eco-Life Challenge To measure the LCS awareness of students / counsellors before and after the conduct of Eco-Life Challenge To evaluate the effectiveness of Eco-Life Challenge in inculcating LCS among school students and teachers

20 GAIA Framework + CASBEE The GAIA (Green Accord Initiative Award) Framework A Certificate and Plaque (no cash involved) awarded to worthy developments that have been designed green The Award can only be given after the development (individual building or housing estate/taman) has been critically assessed using Casbee or another assessment tools IRDA will give the Award to worthy recipients. The GAIA Certificate can be used for promotional and marketing purposes; the Plaque can be placed on the building or development to display that the development is GAIAcertified.

21 Biomass township Bottom up community engagement development in a green way through the application of RE and EE, in an effort to contribute to the implementation of the LCSBP. Design layout has been produced where green elements have been considered building materials, solar PV, biomass (e.g. using oil palm in Johor), wind turbines, rainwater harvesting etc. But the buildings and areas should also be designed to be low emission

29 World Resources Institute connection Cities are widely recognised as major contributors to GHG emissions. 51% of the world s population, about 3.5B people, live in urban areas. The 2008 World Energy Outlook estimated that cities accounted for over 70% of global CO2 emissions from energy consumptions. To address growing urban GHG emissions it is necessary to understand each city s emission patterns and identify the major sources of emissions as well as reduction opportunities from both direct and indirect sources. In 2011, experts from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) convened a working group to help the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) develop a blueprint to make Iskandar, Malaysia the first lowcarbon development region in the country. The blueprint contains the current level of GHG emissions, GHG reduction targets for 2025, and step-by-step action plans to achieve these targets. - See more at: /lessons-learned-low-carbon-cityplanningmalaysia#sthash.k5letjyu.dpuf 04/lessons-learned-low-carboncity-planning-malaysia

33 Conclusion Cities are main contributors to greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission and susceptible to global warming. In particular for the cities of developing nations in Asian regions with increasing population growth and continuous economy development consuming vast resources generating enormous waste are producing a large volume of GHGs. In order to assist local authorities to reduce GHG emission that contribute to global warming, we R &D / science and technology to carryout baseline study in order to formulate feasible policy and implementation providing platform for exchange of ideas between policy makers and researchers as well as between countries.
