Historique

The climate change and energy portfolio in UNDP Malaysia provides policy advisory and implementation support to catalyse low-carbon and climate resilient development in Malaysia. The portfolio focuses on climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and sustainable energy.

The Green Technology Application for the Development of Low Carbon Cities (GTALCC) is a UNDP-GEF funded project to facilitate the implementation of low carbon initiatives and to showcase a clear and integrated approach to low carbon development in Malaysia focusing in five participating cities – Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Petaling Jaya, Melaka and Iskandar Malaysia. It is expected to generate direct GHG emission reductions of 346,442 tonnes CO2eq by end of project and 2,152,032 tonnes CO2eq over the lifetime of project investment. The objective will be achieved by removing barriers to integrated low carbon urban planning and development through 3 components:

1. Policy support for the promotion of integrated low carbon urban development, which will enable cities to implement and adopt integrated low carbon urban development plans;
2. Awareness and institutional capacity development, which will expedite appraisal, approval and the implementation of strategic urban development, and ensure cities are aware of planning and implementing low carbon technology applications, and;
3. Low carbon technology investments in cities, where there is an increase in investment in low carbon technologies with more low carbon projects implemented.
