The government is also committed to increase carbon sequestration and preserving the natural forest, to cover more than 50% of its total land mass. The government is ambitious to implement natural-based solutions to reduce long-term impacts on the environment including planting 100 million trees by 2025. (World Environment Day at Taman Tugu, June 2022) Strategic Planning of Cyberjaya Towards a Low- Carbon City Aspiration Cyberjaya was developed as the nucleus of Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia.

Decarbonization journey in Cyberjaya
The decarbonization journey to meet climate action endeavor is crucial to explore ways to boost productivity sustainably. Human activities in cities are responsible for up to 70% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It’s therefore crucial for cities to ensure policies, regulations and mechanisms on decarbonization are in place as a step to ensure both nature and living things are survived and the continued progress of mankind. Decarbonization is the action of removing or reducing the carbon dioxide (CO2) output into the atmosphere and decarbonization can be achieved by switching to the usage of low-carbon energy sources. The Emissions Gap Report 2022 finds that the world must cut emissions by 45 percent to avoid global catastrophe. Solutions to transform societies exist, but the time for collective, multilateral action is now. The Government of Malaysia is committed to its target of becoming a carbon-neutral nation by as early as 2050 with a target of 33 cities aiming to achieve 45% emission reduction by 2030 as outlined by the National Low Carbon Cities Masterplan. The Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER) targets 31 percent renewable energy contribution by 2025 and 40 percent by 2035.
