On 26 June 2025, Khazanah Research Institute (KRI), in collaboration with the UN Trade and Development , convened the 2nd National Consultation on Green Industrial Transformation in Malaysia.

The event opened with welcome remarks by Dr. Stephanie Blankenburg, Chief of Branch at UNCTAD, and Dr. Nungsari Ahmad Radhi, Chairman of KRI, who underscored the urgency of aligning green policies with inclusive development strategies. This was followed by an inaugural address by YBhg. Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade, and Industry, who highlighted Malaysia’s commitment to navigating the green transition through strategic policy integration and industrial resilience.

Bringing together policymakers, researchers, civil society, and private sector voices, the full-day dialogue explored how Malaysia can pursue integrated, sustainable, and inclusive green industrial strategies amidst fiscal constraints, regulatory challenges, and growing climate risks.

Featuring robust exchanges between experts, the consultation also emphasized the importance of South-South cooperation, industrial innovation, and regional solidarity in shaping a future-ready transformation.
