Malaysia has set a target to become an advanced economy by 2020. This will be achieved in a resilient, low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially-inclusive manner. The intention is to shift from the conventional and costly 'grow first, clean-up later' path to a more greener trajectory - Green Growth - which will ensure that socio- economic development is pursued more sustainably, beginning at the planning stage, and continuing throughout the implementation and evaluation stages. Socio- economic development is vital in raising the quality of lives of Malaysians, but if limited natural resources are not used efficiently, it will result in irreversible damage and put Malaysia's development at risk. Green growth is therefore a game changer because it is not just a stand-alone strategic thrust, but a development trajectory that considers all three pillars of sustainable development - economic, social, and environment, and better prepares the nation for future challenges. If carried out successfully, it will increase economic growth, change mindsets and behaviour at all levels of the society, as well as influence policy decisions in government, production decisions in industries, and consumption decisions by individuals. This in turn will correct the perception of green growth - from a high cost to a long-term investment. The Tenth Malaysia Plan, 2011-2015, recognised the importance of environmental sustainability as part of a comprehensive socio-economic development plan. Measures to address the issues of climate change, environmental degradation, and sustainable utilisation of Malaysia's natural endowment were therefore featured in the Tenth Plan. In 2009, Malaysia set a voluntary target of reducing the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission intensity of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by up to 40% compared to 2005 levels by 2020. Under the Tenth Plan, by the end of 2013, Malaysia had already achieved a 33% reduction. Energy sector, which is a major Overview
