The 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030) identifies sustainability and green growth as national priorities. RMK13 outlines specific targets, including:
• Increasing renewable energy share in the national mix to 35% by 2025;
• Improving energy efficiency across all sectors; and
• Promoting green building certifications such as GreenRE.
The 12th Malaysia Plan identifies the need to address climate change as a strategy to achieve green growth, energy sustainability and transform the water sector. To that end, the plan aims to tackle the issues of climate change, unsustainable consumption and production practices, loss of biodiversity, inconsistent policy implementation, and inefficient water resource management. In this context, the Plan emphasise the shared responsibility of moving towards a low-carbon nation and promoting more equitable benefit sharing from using natural resources. It seeks to manage energy and water holistically and sustainably, considering both supply and demand.
