Shing Chyi Chua and Tick Hui Oh

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2011, vol. 15, issue 6, 2850-2861

Abstract: This paper aims to present Malaysia's green developments, focusing on the National Green Technology Policy and Green Building Index which have been introduced since 2009. Various green initiatives and their progresses to date will be discussed as well as the key implementing green agencies. The benefits of going green to the country and incentives being offered by the Malaysian Government are also presented. The prospect of a green future in Malaysia, spurred by the worldwide outlook towards sustainable development and environmental preservation is very bright. Pursuing green technology in economic and social developments not only helps sustain the non-renewable fuels, safeguards and minimises the environmental degradation due to carbon emissions, it also creates a strong green economy and industry, inline with the country's vision as well as the rest of the world economies.
