Listen "Can We Drill and Still Go Green?"

Episode Synopsis

Malaysia has made big promises on climate — from net-zero by 2050 to supporting clean energy. But are we walking the talk? A just-released report from  environmental think-tank RimbaWatch and independent research organisation the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) suggests otherwise, revealing that our fossil fuel plans could lock in emissions equivalent to those of India in a single year. We speak to Adam Farhan, the Director of RimbaWatch and a co-author of the report, about the contradictions in our energy strategy, and what policy change might look like.Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
