LETTERS: The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ended in Madrid, Spain, and it is high time that we revisited the Malaysian milestone on the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement.
Malaysia has achieved a 33 per cent carbon emission intensity of gross domestic production reduction this year relative to the 2005 levels towards the targeted 45 per cent emission cut by 2030.
This is something we should be proud of, but much effort is needed for us to reduce our carbon footprint in mitigating global warming.
Global warming is causing sea water levels to rise and it is at a tipping point with an accelerated 3.2mm rise yearly. Its effect will be greater at the tropics.
For example, seawater could rise from 1m to 2.5m in Singapore by 2100.
