Promoting green growth under environmental law as measures to reduce carbon emission and regulate air pollution: why it matters for Malaysia?

The risk of global climate change has seen efforts taken by nations all over the world to reduce their carbon emission as steps to limit the increase of global temperature. For many developing countries, tackling carbon emission is a complicated task due to a number of environmental constraints they...
