Climate change bill to be tabled in Parliament next year, says Tuan Ibrahim

KUALA LUMPUR – The nation’s new bill on climate change is expected to be finalised at the end of this year and will be tabled in Parliament next year, said Environment and Water Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

He said the bill was an improvement over the current relevant act to ensure sustainable development for the country.

“We need to expedite (the bill)... the issue of climate change is serious and the significant impact is on the country’s food supply, for example, when droughts hit recently our water supply declined and some of our agriculture areas were disrupted,” he told reporters after the 2022 Climate Change Symposium here today.

The symposium was organised by the Opposition Leader’s Office in collaboration with the Dewan Rakyat Speaker’s Office and Parliament. – Bernama, September 5, 2022
