In p articular\, the project is designed to assist these countries in achieving the 2030 Agenda through 1) effective integrated policy strategies and imp roved capacity at national level\, including South-South peer-learning\; a nd 2) economic cooperation and policy coordination at regional level.The p roject comes at an opportune moment for Malaysia\, following the launch\, in September 2023\, of the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030\, a comp rehensive industrial master plan that charts a clear course for Malaysia o ver seven years to keep the country’s manufacturing industry and related services competitive on a global level. This includes capitalizing on cor e trends - such as supply chain diversification\, digitalization and envir onmental\, social and governance (ESG) considerations - as well as a techn ology adoption strategy aimed at further increasing productivity and inter national competitiveness. In addition\, Malaysia’s Net Zero 2050 plans a nd the Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER) set ambitious climate cha nge adaptation targets\, including an increase in the country’s renewabl e energy capacity to 70 per cent by 2050\, in line with the national aspir ation to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions over the next 26 years. In this context\, the project provides an excellent opportunity to support policymakers in their effective delivery of national plans and policies a s well as to facilitate creating synergies and strengthening policy coordi nation at the regional level in the area of green developmental transforma tion and industrialization.Purpose and key objectivesThis first national c onsultation meeting aims to bring together national\, regional and interna tional experts\, policymakers and stakeholders to share knowledge and expe rtise on Malaysia’s green industrialization strategy and experiences so far. The key objectives are to consult with national stakeholders particul arly policy makers to  1) identify core national challenges\, constraints and opportunities\, 2) explore potential policy implications arising from these and 3) discuss the role and potential of regional synergies and par tnerships for assisting national efforts in promoting green development.Un der this project\, UNCTAD and its partner in Malaysia\, the Khazanah Resea rch Institute\, have joined efforts to issue five in-depth studies whose f indings will be presented at this meeting to guide discussions. These incl ude a study on the experience of green industrialization in Malaysia so fa r\, lessons to be learnt as well as current challenges and opportunities\, three sectoral case studies (semiconductors\, electric vehicles and energ y) and an analysis of different financing options for green industrializat ion in Malaysia with a focus on the role of Government-Linked Investment C ompanies and Government-Linked Companies.A closing session will take stock of key issues\, policy scenarios and implications as well as consider the role regional policy coordination as a catalyst to further promote nation al advancements for green transformation and industrialization. The outcom es of this meeting will lay the foundations for the 2nd national consultat ion meeting in 2025 that will focus on further analysis and discussion of policy strategy for green transformation and industrialization in Malaysia .<\;!-- ####### HEY\, I AM THE SOURCE EDITOR! #########-->\;<\;p>\ ;UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has developed a project that aims to as sist four major developing countries in Asia – Kazakhstan\, Malaysia\, P akistan and Türkiye - in their efforts to meet the Sustainable Developmen t Goals (SDGs) related to green transformative development.
