BANGI, Feb 22 (Bernama) — Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation launched initiatives to encourage reflection about the country’s carbon emissions. A 1-tonne CO₂ cube is being constructed and placed at the MGTC compound area for the public to view and learn the environmental impact of a metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions on the environment. In 2019, Malaysia’s carbon footprint per capita was 9.615 tCO2e per person, and each tonne is equivalent to 11,263 Malaysians having roti canai for breakfast. The Carbon Cube, which will be opened for public viewing in March, is a tangible representation that underscores the urgent need for everyone to take carbon reduction measures.

MGTC also unveiled the Climate Action Knowledge Hub, which acts as a central repository, curating information on climate change’s causes, effects, and solutions. It provides resources and insights into sustainable practices and energy conservation, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility within the office community and visitors. The cube and knowledge hub inspire collective action toward reducing the carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.
