From carbon tax to fuel subsidy cuts: What’s next for Malaysia’s sustainability agenda in 2025?

Quick Summary:

The country is expected to leverage its Asean presidency to drive cooperation in the regional carbon markets.

At home, Malaysia is looking to drive down emissions through a climate bill, energy sector reform and fuel subsidy cuts.

But challenges in transitioning to cleaner energy sources remain, as Malaysia has yet to launch an emissions trading system to tax the most polluting industries and the addition of new data centres will further drive up greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
