Climate change policy

This explores climate change, one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, affecting legislation, economics, politics, corporate and public behaviour. The discussion focuses on existing and emerging regulations and mechanisms both internationally and in Malaysia, their impact on business and public and incentives for businesses to reduce emissions, comply with environmental laws and participate in voluntary programs. Carbon tax and emissions trading have become key mitigation mechanisms in many jurisdictions and will be studied in detail. Deforestation and forest protection through international and national programs and regulations are also discussed.
