Student Perspective Toward Energy Conservation in Universiti Utara Malaysia

Climate change and global warming, driven by CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel consumption, are critical issues. In Malaysia, while the energy mix is sustainable, the industry and transportation sectors heavily rely on fossil fuels. To address this, energy conservation is essential to modify behaviors...
