Natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said his ministry will continue to find ways to collaborate with all nations to find the best solution to climate change.

He said the matter had been brought up during a meeting with US representatives at the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Bernama reported.

“That is their (the US’s) decision, but the whole world needs to act and find the best solution.

“Malaysia will continue discussions and maintain ties with countries we have forged diplomatic relations with, including the US,” he said after officiating the launch of Malaysia’s participation report at UNFCCC-COP29 and its biennial transparency report here today.

Nik Nazmi said Malaysia is among 85 of 198 countries that have successfully met the commitments under the agreement, submitting the first biennial transparency report on Dec 31 last year to the UNFCCC within the targeted time.

He said the national document reflects Malaysia’s commitment to achieving its nationally determined contribution target of a 45% reduction in economy-wide greenhouse gas emission intensity by 2030.
