摘要：
Climate change is a significant global challenge affecting our planet's ecosystems. Addressing this challenge requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders, including businesses, academic institutions, and government at all levels. This paper examines Malaysia's national policy on climate change and its legal framework at national and international levels. It also aims to consider the response by local authorities. The discussion adopts the doctrinal legal research analysis. The findings of this paper can provide the policymakers, governments, and local authorities in Malaysia to expedite their climate change mitigation effort.
