Greenhouse gas inventory over Malaysia forest land
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide exist naturally in the atmosphere. Their presence contributes to the greenhouse effect that makes life possible on planet Earth. However, the human activities have increased the accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere contributing to adverse climatic changes. This poster provides an overview of greenhouse gas from forest over Malaysia, methodology for estimating emissions & removals for forest land and potential reduction through mitigation actions. As pledged in our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Malaysia intends to maintain forest cover at least 50 percent and to reduce the greenhouse intensity of GDP by 45% by 2030 relative to the emission intensity of GDP in 2005.
