The aim of this study to find the agricultural and economic impacts of growing methane emissions, where livestock index and GDP per capita are the proxy variables to measure the effect of these two sectors, respectively. As methodology, a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) applies for this research. However, Augmented Dicky Fuller and Phillips–Pe...

At present, we are the inhabitants of a fast world. Hence, our lifestyles are becoming very speedy day by day. These turbo ways of life are mainly the consequence of the establishment of engineering science and knowledge. Engineering is the amalgamation and implementation of scientific knowledge, technical data, experience, and managerial skills. B...

These wastes include solid, and liquid contaminated with chemicals, food waste, ago-waste etc. generated from multiple sources have been frequently dumped in open landfills...

This book assesses the vulnerability impacts of climate change on food security by examining a 50 years scenario (2015- 2065) and following a top-down approach. Importantly, looking at the sustainable food production, the authors compared the cost-benefit of adaptation costs from 2015 to 2065. It was found that a 15% adaptation capacity is more eff...

Educating and preparing young graduates with an actionoriented education program is the prime requirement for any country. Therefore, the Sustainability course is designed to develop resource persons to fulfill the immediate country’s demand for adequate ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) skilled graduates. Currently Bangladesh is thriving...

The key goal of this chapter is to examine and assess the effect of various adaptation strategies and their related costs on macroeconomic variables such as real gross domestic product (RGDP), government spending, exports, net consumption and net production, and food sustainability over time as a means of addressing Malaysia’s climate change and fo...

To formulate sustainable adaptation policies for food security in Malaysia, it is essential to generate a specific model to identify possible outcomes and results. Therefore, this research study systematized a dynamic Malaysian Integrated Climate and Economy (MICE) model based on computable general equilibrium (CGE) methods to find optimized result...

This chapter addresses the study findings in contrast to other literature; the findings specifically show that climate change will have detrimental consequences for Malaysia that may be mitigated by adaptation policies. This chapter demonstrates that the gains outweigh the associated costs for each time segment considered in the research simulation...

This chapter ends with policy proposals focused on the study’s conclusions and clarifies the study’s strengths and shortcomings, as well as its realistic contribution, before pointing out potential research opportunities. According to the Malaysian Integrated Climate and Economy (MICE) model, different approximate values for different levels of ada...

The ability of food systems to respond to climate change is both exciting and underappreciated. This chapter examines potential producer and consumer responses to climate change, their ability to mitigate otherwise negative effects on food security, and the role of public and private organizations in investing in adaptation when individual response...

This article analyses climate mitigation impact once the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) introduce their respective Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) using dynamic non-linear computable general equilibrium modelling and 2010 input-output tables. The results indicate that atmospheric concentration of carbon and temper...

In accordance with the Paris Accord to cap global temperature rise to1.5°Celsius over the next 100 years, Malaysia submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) seeking to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030, which was changed to 2050 following the Marrakech Procla...

This study presents an empirical examination of climate change related to vulnerability impacts on food security and remedial adaptation options as a suitable strategy by prioritizing needs over a 50-year period. An Empirical Dynamic Commutable General Equilibrium Model for Climate and the Economy (EDCGECE) is applied using future strategies for Ma...

This paper examines whether attitudes toward climate change, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control have significant associations with behavioural intention to adapt to climate change and adopt pro-environmental behaviour. The study distributed questionnaires in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Confirmatory factor analysis and structur...

The significance of Science Framework (SF) to date is receiving more acceptances all over the world to address agricultural sustainability. The professional views, however, advocate that the SF known as Mega Science Framework (MSF) in the transitional economies is not converging effectively in many ways for the agricultural sustainability. Speciall...
