ABSTRACTConcern about global climate change has elicited responses from governments around the world. These responses began with the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and have continued with other negotiations, including the 2009 Copenhagen Summit. These negotiations raised important questions about whether countries will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, if so, how the burden of emissions reductions will be shared. To investigate these questions, we utilize environmental Kuznets curves for carbon emissions for the G8 plus five main developing countries. Our findings raise doubts about the feasibility of reducing global carbon emissions and shed light on the different positions taken by countries on the distribution of emissions reductions.

Malaysia has an abundance of renewable energy resources. However, the implementation proved to be difficult, as many factors have to be considered, mainly economical factor. Furthermore, currently there is no known framework to establish the feasibility study of renewable energy technology implementation. This paper serves as an initial study on the application of fit-viability framework for the implementation of RE technology, focussing in Malaysia. A simple case study has been performed based on the Feed-in Tariff mechanism, an the fit-viability framework proved to be useful in RE technology consideration.
