Green policies given more attention in 12th MP


DURING the tabling of the 12th Malaysia Plan in Parliament on Sept 27, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob stressed that green growth would be one of the priorities of the five-year roadmap, and the country would seek cleaner and greener development through a “whole-of-nation” approach.

It must be remembered that green initiatives are not new, however.

Former prime minster Datuk Seri Najib Razak, for example, had introduced the National Green Technology Policy (NGTP) in July 2009 and followed this up with the Green Technology Master Plan 2017-2030 (GTMP), which detailed an actionable roadmap in achieving the NGTP.

The GTMP aligned with the 11th Malaysia Plan and the country’s target in reducing up to 45% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity by 2030 under the Paris Agreement.
