'How Malaysia is forging a green future with an eco-label' Film
This film is part of the television reports and documentaries of Deutsche Welle's 'Global Ideas', a media project that provides people all over the world with information on model projects which implement biodiversity and climate protection. The project goal is making Malaysians conscious of environmental protection with the help of green products and a eco label. The media project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety through the International Climate Initiative (IKI).
The film by Bastian Hartig showcases the electric mopeds whirring around the streets of Malaysia as one example of the country's efforts to go green. Right now, the vehicles aren't available for private purchase and are being use in fleets insteads, including by authorities and fast food chains. The mopeds have been given a green stamp of approval but any products that want to get the same eco label first have to prove their environmental credentials. Malaysia wants to protect the environment and resources, while at the same time future proofing its economy, with the new label. It's a long road, but it has to be taken, says the government. The state is currently the eco label's biggest advocate. Malaysia is one of 8 countries participating in the Advance SCP project, and forms part of the South East Asian component coordinated by GIZ Thailand.
