|a Rapid urbanization and overconsumption can threaten the natural environment, resource efficiency and resilience of a region, which are essential components of urban sustainability. Human effects which cause environmental degradation include poor sanitation and waste disposal, overconsumption of water resources, and motorized vehicular and industrial activities contributing to increased levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Malaysia has made ambitious commitments to reduce its GHG emissions intensity of GDP by forty-five percent by 2030 relative to the emissions intensity of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005.
