Abstract

Carbon neutrality and peak carbon dioxide emissions have become widespread sustainability targets worldwide, particularly in emerging nations, as urbanisation and industry have accelerated. Both cities have developed policies to combat climate change, such as green construction, sustainable infrastructure, improved public transit, promoting renewable energy sources, and waste management programmes. Despite their dedication, every city faces specific difficulties. Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur are both cities affected by climate change, however, both cities manage fast urbanisation while juggling development and sustainability. This study emphasises the low-carbon initiatives of the cities, their parallels and divergences, and offer insights into urban planning and the formulation of policies that will lead to sustainable cities. It also analyses the suitable options for low carbon application that could be applied in both countries, including the use of non-renewable energy and increasing the use of clean energy to reduce CO2 emissions from buildings.
