The portfolio focuses on climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and sustainable energy. Projects under the climate change and energy portfolio include, among others: Green Technology Application for the Development of Low Carbon Cities (GTALCC) Project, which supports the scaling up of low carbon initiatives and removing of barriers to integrated low carbon urban planning and development in Malaysian cities;
Biennial Update Reports and National Communications Projects, which supports the preparation of the national greenhouse gas inventory and national climate change reports in fulfilment of requirements under the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC);
Climate Promise Project, which supports Malaysia in improving the clarity, transparency and understanding of its climate pledge, and the updating of Malaysia’s Nationally Determined Contribution for submission to the UNFCCC in 2020; and
