Low Carbon Society
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the study Nowadays every single country in the world care about climate change. All countries focus on sustainable development which involve low carbon society concept. The question is what is sustainable development and low carbon society? Sustainable development is eco-friendly development and low carbon society is society that consumes sustainable and relatively low carbon energy as compared with our present day to avoid adverse climate change. Malaysia also participates in this program in order to reduce carbon emission to avoid climate change. In this research we focus on how to transformed Iskandar Malaysia to low carbon society city in 2025. In order to know the details about how to transform Iskandar Malaysia, we implement some of the research done by other develop countries. For example Japan. They have make research on low carbon society. “A Roadmap towards Low Carbon Kyoto” is one of the research made in japan by Research Team of Sustainable Society Kyoto to transform Kyoto city to low carbon society city in 2030. From this input we can take suitable action that has been use at Kyoto city to apply at Iskandar Malaysia. But not all action that has been done in others country is suitable to applied at our country. In order to make Iskandar Malaysia as low carbon society city we need to find the suitable solution to apply at Iskandar Malaysia. The amount of CO2 emission per capita (9.3 t-CO2) in Iskandar Malaysia is higher than national average of Malaysia (5.0 t-CO2). Urbanization is the main factor of this problem. Malaysia committed in order to reduce carbon emission. In COP 15 (2009) , Malaysia prime minister; YAB Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak , has pledged a voluntary 40% reduction of CO2 emission intensity by 2020. Under the Tenth Malaysia Plan (2011-2015); The Government has intensified effort to reduce emission by climate adaption and mitigation measure.
