Malaysia’s tropical forest ecosystems are a vital carbon reserve, removing some 250 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere and supporting incredible biodiversity – but 3.9 million hectares have been cleared for oil palm plantations since 1990.
Although this has helped to meet global demand for products from lipstick to pizza dough and brought greater prosperity to the country, de-forestation has also depleted Malaysia’s forests as carbon sinks and havens for wildlife.
With the right investment and approach to conservation, though, Malaysian forests can make an important contribution towards the Paris Agreement target of limiting increase in global temperature to 2c above pre-industrial times.
About Our Contributors
Keynote Speakers
"It wasn’t until I joined my first board that I realised the scale of the challenge facing directors when it comes to tackling Climate Change in the boardroom: we need to approach this with the same depth, rigour and professionalism as we do all other aspects of board activity, and yet despite the urgency, there is no ready how-to manual that NEDs can turn to.
Enter the Climate Governance Initiative: thanks to superb support from experts across the business and scientific community, and the determination of our growing membership, and brilliant country hubs like Climate Governance Malaysia, we are plugging this gap."
