Malaysia’s Commitment to Advancing Tangible Climate Action Towards a Sustainable, Net-Zero Future

BYLINE ARTICLE FOR COP30

BELEM, BRAZIL – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 November 2025 – Malaysia is not simply setting goals; it is actively translating its ambition into reality. Following the introduction of the Malaysia Pavilion theme, ‘Climate Action Now: Net Zero Pathways Unlocked,’ at the recent International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2025), we have cemented our commitment in the ‘whole-of-nation’ approach when it comes to all thing’s climate. This effort goes beyond high-level declarations. It is focused on mobilising all sectors including industry, energy, communities and government, towards climate action. Ultimately, our aim is to drive tangible and transformative change that will enable Malaysia to achieve carbon neutrality and secure a sustainable and resilient economic future.

Over the past year, our focus has been on defining the ‘Shift for Sustainability’. This includes building foundational ecosystems like the National Climate Change Policy 2.0 (NCCP 2.0), NDC Roadmap and Action Plan, Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) and National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) which anchors our mission to balance the critical energy trilemma of security, affordability and sustainability. Beyond our local efforts, we also advanced regional efforts like the ASEAN Power Grid, which serves as the physical infrastructure that transforms our ambition into reality by facilitating cross-border renewable energy trade. These frameworks and policies were developed to help us transform our national targets into actionable blueprints.

Having successfully established these foundational pillars, Malaysia is now holistically prepared to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Through both local and international collaboration, we believe this action-oriented mission transcends geopolitics or trends. It is a matter of national responsibility and economic prudence, ensuring a secure and sustainable future for our people and nation.

Malaysia has long been committed to climate action. In line with its commitments under the Paris Agreement, through the latest update of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), NDC 3.0 which submitted in October 2025, Malaysia strives to peak its emissions by 2030 and intends to achieve an absolute reduction of 15–30 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (MtCO₂eq) by 2035 from the peak level. This commitment is bolstered by a range of mitigation actions that have advanced Malaysia’s progress toward its NDC targets.

Some notable initiatives include those related to renewable energy policies, energy efficiency improvements, rail-based public transport, biofuel adoption, waste recycling, and sustainable forestry management. Furthermore, Malaysia has set its sights on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, a visionary goal that calls for strong public-private collaboration and long-term policy clarity.

The recent Budget 2026 reaffirms Malaysia’s commitment to a greener and more resilient economy, with a stronger emphasis on energy transition, carbon regulation, and sustainable living to safeguard long-term security, affordability, and sustainability for the rakyat (all Malaysians). A key measure under this commitment is the planned introduction of a Carbon Tax, which serves as a critical carbon pricing instrument to incentivize the private sector and industry players to adopt low-carbon technologies, enhance energy efficiency, and integrate sustainability into their operations. Beyond supporting Malaysia’s commitments under the Paris Agreement, the Carbon Tax also positions domestic industries to remain competitive under emerging global carbon pricing regimes, particularly the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Importantly, revenues generated through carbon pricing will be reinvested domestically, ensuring that the economic benefits are channelled towards national decarbonization efforts, technological innovation, and capacity building for a sustainable and inclusive transition.

On the regional front, as the ASEAN Chair in 2025, Malaysia continues to drive leadership in sustainability. Under the Chairmanship, Malaysia hosted the 18th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on the Environment (AMME-18) and related meetings in Langkawi early in September emphasising the importance of climate change cooperation amidst pressing environmental challenges.

A core achievement of AMME-18 was ASEAN’s agreement on the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change for COP30. The unified statement was endorsed by the ASEAN Environment Ministers and will be delivered at COP30, following its formal approval at the 47th ASEAN Summit on 26 October 2025. The joint statement not only serves as a critical opportunity for ASEAN to collectively influence global climate action but also articulates ASEAN’s common positions on key issues including climate finance, adaptation, loss and damage, technology transfer and implementation of the Paris Agreement.

During AMME-18, Malaysia also facilitated a dialogue between ASEAN Environment Ministers and the COP30 President Designate, Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago. This engagement successfully aligned ASEAN’s priorities with Brazil’s “Amazon COP” vision, laying the groundwork for early coordination towards COP30 in Belém. As a result, we see ASEAN positioned as a united and influential voice in the global climate negotiations.

Building on this momentum, the Malaysia Pavilion at COP30 will serve as an extension of this regional collaboration, highlighting both Malaysia’s national climate initiatives and ASEAN’s collective commitment to sustainability under Malaysia’s Chairmanship. Through this platform, Malaysia aims to amplify the collective voice of Southeast Asian nations, anchored on the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR).

The Pavilion will also spotlight regional initiatives, reinforcing Malaysia’s commitment to domestic transformation and regional leadership, ensuring that the voices, vulnerabilities and innovations of Southeast Asian nations are effectively represented and supported on the global stage.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 June 2026 – Hong Kong’s Government Flying Service (GFS) held its inaugural three-day International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services (ISERAS) (June 16-18), bringing together more than 230 policymakers, experts and academics, and industry representatives from over 70 institutions and accredited organisations.

With participants from places including Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Austria, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, the event aimed to foster closer co-operation in emergency linkage, resource sharing, and professional training among different regions.

The inaugural International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services was held in Hong Kong from June 16 to 18.

The symposium featured a series of plenary sessions, panel discussions, technical visits, and live demonstrations jointly conducted by the GFS and various government emergency units. A number of memoranda of understanding were signed during the event, to deepen collaboration between the GFS and the Chinese Mainland as well as domestic and international emergency, aviation, and medical institutions.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Under Secretary for Security, Michael Cheuk, said that the challenges of emergency response as a result of the realities of climate change are evolving at an unprecedented pace.

“A shift to proactive prevention, continuous enhancement of international and cross-regional collaboration, and enhanced experience and insight sharing among stakeholders are key to rising to new and complex challenges,” Mr Cheuk said, adding that the collaborative spirit of ISERAS will forge stronger partnerships, further strengthen emergency response capabilities, and secure a safer future for communities.

The Director General of the Rescue and Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China (CRS), Wang Lei, also attended the symposium and delivered a keynote presentation on air rescue capabilities and strategic development in the South China Sea.

The symposium concluded with an interdepartmental counter-terrorism drill and exchange session, with the participation of the GFS, the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, showcasing Hong Kong’s professional capabilities in responding to terrorist attacks.

The Controller of the GFS, Captain Eddie Liu, said that the GFS has always played an important role in emergency response and rescue. “In addition to assisting in search and rescue, providing air ambulance and other emergency aeromedical services, the GFS also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining internal security of the HKSAR,” he said.

“In emergencies such as terrorist attacks, the GFS would make rapid deployment to assist the disciplined services in conducting air assault, offering all-round support to the HKSAR Government’s overall counter-terrorism efforts.”

Since its establishment in 1993, the GFS has served at the forefront of round-the-clock search-and-rescue and emergency aeromedical operations, while the ISERAS aims to collectively build a truly transnational pool of professional expertise, thereby underscoring Hong Kong’s status as an aviation hub for emergency response in Asia.
