00:03 The young Dipertuan Agong Al Sultan Abdullah Riayatuddin

00:06 Al Mustafa Bilah Shah opened the Malaysia Pavilion

00:09 at the United Nations Climate Change Summit

00:11 in Dubai on Friday.

00:13 The King is in Dubai for a visit from November 29th

00:17 to December 4th to attend the 28th Conference of Parties

00:20 to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP28.

00:26 In his royal address, he said the focus of Malaysia's action

00:29 for climate change issues is to address emissions

00:32 from the energy and industrial sectors.

00:34 He said under the National Energy Transition Roadmap,

00:37 Malaysia would increase the share of green

00:39 and sustainable energy in its total energy mix.

00:43 He said the energy and industrial sectors still accounted

00:46 for the majority of the country's total carbon emissions.

00:49 He said Malaysia will also create more jobs dedicated

00:52 to the conservation of a greener environment.

00:55 The Malaysia Pavilion showcases the country's efforts

00:58 in addressing climate change.

01:00 The King also attended the COP28 Leaders Summit

01:04 where world leaders will assess their progress

01:06 in meeting global climate targets,

01:08 specifically the Paris Agreement goal

01:10 of limiting global warming to within two degrees Celsius

01:13 above pre-industrial temperatures.

01:16 - I will do everything in my power

01:18 to channel the momentum you generate at the summit

01:21 into an ambitious response to the global stock take

01:25 and to keep the North Star of 1.5 within reach.

01:30 - We are miles from the goals of the Paris Agreement

01:34 and minutes to midnight for the 1.5 degree limit.

01:37 But it is not too late.

01:41 We can, you can prevent planetary crash and burn.

01:46 We have the technologies to avoid the worst

01:49 of climate chaos if we act now.

01:52 I pray with all my heart that COP28

01:57 will be another critical turning point

02:00 towards genuine transformational action

02:04 at a time when already,

02:07 as scientists have been warning for so long,

02:11 we are seeing alarming tipping points being reached.

02:15 - The Climate Change Summit will be held

02:17 at the Expo City until December 12th.

02:21 - Yeah.
