densely populated, we have no luxury of land and

cannot afford to neglect our environment when developing our economy.

renewable energy. We will therefore have to focus

on raising efficiency, aiming for a 35% improvement in

energy efficiency from 2005 levels by 2030” Source: Report of The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD)
