Bonn, Germany, 12th<\/sup> November \u2013<\/strong> Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), through the UTM-Low Carbon Asia Research Centre (UTM-LCARC) that is based in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Built Environment, organises an exhibition and participates in side events at the 23rd<\/sup> Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 23) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Bonn, Germany, 6-17 November 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prof. TPr. Dr. Ho Chin Siong and TPr. Chau Loon Wai from the Department of Urban Regional Planning lead UTM\u2019s participation at COP 23, which is presided by the island nation of Fiji and hosted by the German Government.\u00a0 The exhibition marks UTM\u2019s seventh installation at the COP since participating in COP 17 in Durban, South Africa in 2011.\u00a0 UTM remains the only Malaysian university with an accredited Observer institution status at the COP.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition showcases UTM-LCARC\u2019s latest work on advancing city-level climate change action plan-making (science to policy-making through multiple stakeholder engagements) and implementation (real actions on the ground) in Iskandar Malaysia, Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and Pengerang.<\/span><\/p>\n

The successful \u201cScience to Action\u201d (S2A) approach used in climate change mitigation at the city-level impresses visitors of diverse professional backgrounds (ranging from senior government officials, politicians, industrialists, scientists engineers, architects and academicians to activists, NGO volunteers and university students) from over 30 countries in South America, Africa, Europe, the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia, with many indicating interests in future collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n
