Malaysia-UK PACT

Malaysia has seen significant shifts in the climate governance landscape over the last few years and UK PACT is proud to be a partner in supporting Malaysia's ambition and further accelerating climate action.

Malaysia continues to make progress on its international climate commitments, evidenced by the establishment of the Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy, NDC Roadmap, the Malaysian National Energy Transition Roadmap and the imminent tabling of its Climate Change Bill, among others, which will drive Malaysia to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Having supported Malaysia from 2020-2023, UK PACT will be re-launching in Malaysia later this year. The new portfolio will be underpinned by the Malaysia-UK Climate Partnership, signed in 2022.

The Malaysia-UK PACT country strategy will focus on unlocking greater quality of climate and nature finance by optimising the enabling environment for clean energy investments and voluntary carbon markets in the forestry sector.
