How Malaysia is advancing climate action, energy security, and resilience


"WE have the enormous opportunity – and responsibility – to turn this 'Tale of Two Crises' into a single story of resolve, fairness, and shared progress." These are the words of António Guterres, secretary-general of the United Nations, delivered at the Global Energy Transition and Electrification Summit during London Climate Action Week on June 23, 2026.

As Guterres emphasised, the climate and energy crises must be addressed together and at their root. Continued reliance on fossil fuels exposes economies to volatile energy prices, geopolitical shocks, and growing climate risks, while slowing progress towards sustainable development.
