MALAYSIA STUDIES PROGRAMME & CLIMATE CHANGE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAMME
About the Hybrid Seminar
Malaysia is seeking to escape the upper middle-income trap. The challenge of undertaking structural reforms that address economic development concerns and are aligned with climate action is considerable. Last year, the Anwar Ibrahim administration unveiled the Madani Economy framework, the National Energy Transition Roadmap, the Mid-Term Review of the 12th Malaysia Plan, the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, and the Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap – all in quick succession. These new strategies aim to tap green growth opportunities to achieve rapid greenhouse gas emissions reduction while delivering tangible economic benefits to the rakyat. In addition, the government must seek the financial resources needed for the forthcoming National Adaptation Plan that seeks to strengthen Malaysia’s climate resilience in various sectors including health, agriculture and food security, forestry, biodiversity, water security, infrastructure and cities.
In this seminar, Malaysia’s Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, H.E. Nik Nazmi Bin Nik Ahmad, will unpack these plans and set out Malaysia’s priorities and strategies that will be critical in meeting its climate ambition.
