Green Technology Annual Report

Until MGTC’s appointment, there was no single government agency that oversaw the entirety of climate change and its ramifications. That MGTC has been chosen for the role is validation of the organisation’s performance and achievements to date. As with green technology, we will be directly involved in policy analysis, national reporting, programme coordination and education for climate change actions. MGTC will also serve as the focal point for climate change data and communication. We are very excited about donning our new climate change cloak, and to wear it well we will be bringing on board fresh talent with expertise in climate change. We also seek to form a Climate Change Collaboration Network with relevant agencies and universities to leverage the nation’s collective expertise and talents, and ensure an alignment of our priorities. GOING FORWARD We have accomplished much in our last 10 years, but with a new and expanded role, the bar has been set higher and we have a new set of goals to achieve. Bearing this in mind, we at MGTC are embarking on the new phase in our continuing journey with renewed vigour and determination. Having already identified gaps in institutional frameworks, we have begun to work on rectifying these. Among others, we are outlining a more sustainable and comprehensive Green Financing Roadmap for clarity of all parties involved. We are also reviewing the GTMP, to update the targets and strategies outlined while incorporating new sub-sectors and creating alignment with the latest ministerial developments and MGTC’s new mandate. I believe the next few years will be challenging given the immensity of our responsibilities. Yet, these will also be exciting times as MGTC has always embraced challenges, the team taking pride in stretching our capabilities. We have a fantastic team here and, with the support of our partners and other stakeholders, the guidance of our directors, I have every confidence that MGTC’s next decade will be as successful as the decade that we have just completed. CEO’S STRATEGIC REVIEW We also seek to form Climate Change Collaboration Network with relevant agencies and universities to leverage the nation’s collective expertise and talents . “ “ 12 MALAYSIAN GREEN TECHNOLOGY & CLIMATE CHANGE CENTRE ANNUAL REPORT 2019
