This paper analyzes the implications of Malaysia's INDC and an additional proposal of continuing further climate control to cap temperature rise over the next century against the existing scenario in the country. The results show that the cumulative damage from climate change over the period 2010�2100 will amount to MYR2.1 billion under the present climatic regime. It will fall to MYR1.1 billion under scenario 2 and to MYR0.6 billion under scenario 3. Since the total abatement costs for scenario 2 (MYR14.3 billion) is close to that of scenario 3 (MYR14.6 billion) against the significant reduction in climate damage of the latter, the third proposal is the best alternative for Malaysia. � 2017 Elsevier Ltd Final 2023-05-29T06:37:34Z 2023-05-29T06:37:34Z 2017 Article 10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.08.182 2-s2.0-85029671535 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85029671535&doi=10.1016%2fj.jclepro.2017.08.182&partnerID=40&md5=4680e92faa0029c18ec89d1962cb261f https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/23046 167 163 173 Elsevier Ltd Scopus
