European Commission | Guidebook: how to develop a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in Southeast Asia-Malaysia

ABSTRACT - The Global Covenant of Mayors in Southeast Asia (GCoM SEA) supports Malaysian local authorities in the climate challenge and in their efforts in building more sustainable and resilient communities. It is the "regional covenant" of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM). Under the GCoM SEA, local authorities are invited to take a voluntarily political commitment to implement climate and energy actions in their communities and to agree on a long-term vision to tackle the three pillars of the initiative: access to energy (not developed in the current guidebook), climate mitigation and climate adaptation. In order to translate the political commitment into practical measures, GCoM SEA signatories have also to commit to elaborating and implementing a Climate Action Plan (CAP).
