Description
Summary:Various efforts have been taken to develop a Low Carbon Society in Iskandar Malaysia. These efforts need to be coordinated to ensure high efficiency and effectiveness. This paper discusses the preliminary work to produce an action plan for low carbon education in the state of Johor where the region of Islander Malaysia is a part of it. This qualitative study of efforts starting in 2011 has generated a framework to explain how Low Carbon Society can be developed from among the school community. This includes the directive measure from the authorities, getting buy-in from the stakeholders through engagement and briefing, initiating low carbon efforts, giving recognition, making formative assessment through research and appointing champions. This framework will be useful for other similar community to develop a Low Carbon Society.
