IntroductionDevelopment of Low Carbon Society Scenarios for Asian Regions

Site: Iskandar Malaysia

Objective:i. To draw up key policies and strategies in guiding the development of Iskandar Malaysia in mitigatingcarbon emission. Transforming Iskandar Malaysia into a sustainable low carbon metropolis byadopting green growth strategies/roadmap.

ii. To respond to the nation’s aspiration for ensuring climate-resilient development for sustainability.

Target Year: 2025 (2005 – 2025)

(Iskandar Regional Development Authority)

BackgroundDevelopment of Low Carbon Society Scenarios for Asian Regions

Research Team: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Kyoto University (KU), Okayama University (OU),National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES)

Joint Coordinating Committee: Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), Federal Departmentof Town and Country Planning (JPBD), Malaysia Green Technology Corporation (MGTC)

Sponsorship: JICA & Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)

Period: 2011 - 2016
