The Climate Finance Accelerator in Malaysia

The Climate Finance Accelerator in Malaysia is led by our delivery partner PwC Malaysia. CFA Malaysia closed its first call for proposals in March 2026. Businesses that have been selected to join the cohort will be announced later in the year.

Climate policy in Malaysia

As a rapidly developing country, Malaysia faces high emissions from its energy, transport, agriculture and manufacturing sectors, leaving the country vulnerable to climate issues such as seasonal haze, loss of biodiversity and flooding.

The government has set the ambitious goal of reaching peak emissions by 2030 in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), guided by policies such as the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and National Climate Change Policy 2.0.

Despite this focus, a significant financing gap remains, with RM 1.2 trillion identified in energy transition alone. CFA Malaysia aims to help bridge this gap by enhancing the investment readiness of climate solutions and strengthening their relationships with capital providers.
