An Overview of Renewable Energy Programmes towards A Green City Development Concept at Melaka Local Government

Abstract

This study presents an overview of renewable energy (RE) programmes and the Green City  Concept (GCC) by the local governments in promoting a Green City at the local level to be part of a successful agenda. It also elaborates on the action plans undertaken in Malaysia and the implementation of green city projects initiated by the local governments. Thus, this study explores the existing pool of literature to provide an explanatory perspective for the research with a diverse range of elements in renewable energy programmes such as the model of RE and GCC and  programmes in enhancing the performance of the Melaka local government. The study shows that the local governments play a significant role in implementing more potential RE programmes under GCC in supporting communities effectively for their future betterment. Therefore, the outcome of this study is expected to provide significant information for the government to play a greater role in creating awareness to the community on realising the implementation of the GCC in the local government administration.
