Low Carbon Asia Research Network (LoCARNet) is an open network of researchers, research organisations, as well as like-minded relevant stakeholders that facilitates the formulation and implementation of science-based policies for low-carbon development in the Asia region. In October 2011, at the ASEAN +3 Environmental Ministers’ Meeting (EMM) in Cambodia, the Japanese government and the Institute for Global Environment Strategies (IGES) proposed the launch of the Low Carbon Asia Research Network (LoCARNet). LoCARNet was officially launched at the “East Asia Low Carbon Growth Partnership Dialogue” in April 2012, and has reported its progress to the ASEAN +3 EMM every year.
The Third Annual Meeting of the LoCARNet was held on 24-26 November 2014 in Bogor, Indonesia. This year’s Annual Meeting highlighted recognizing huge risk of climate change to human well-being predicted by science community; welcoming the start of a new global regime to avert it; confirming the growing importance of regional cooperation for low-carbon transition; and drawing upon Asian wisdom to contribute in stabilizing climate. On the Day-3, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Development), Prof. Dr. Azlan bin Abdul Rahman delivered his speech on Introduction to LoCARNet 4th Annual Meeting in Malaysia. This three days meeting ended with closing remarks by Prof. Herry Suhardiyanto, Chancellor at the Bogor Agricultural University
