The Malaysia Pavilion at COP29 marks the country’s steadfast commitment to sustainability as it prepares to assume the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025. Aligned with the pavilion’s theme, ‘Shift for Sustainability – Climate Action Now!’, the country is set to showcase its key climate action milestones, advocate for stronger intergovernmental cooperation on green initiatives, and promote the country’s advanced sustainable practices on the global stage.

This effort is fully aligned with Malaysia’s broader climate objectives and supports the theme of the 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship, "Inclusivity and Sustainability”. Malaysia will also call for enhanced cooperation among ASEAN member states and urge more decisive action on key areas such as sustainable development, environmental protection, and social equity, in line with the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, to drive the region’s progress toward achieving its net-zero goals.

Secretary General, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), Datuk Dr Ching Thoo a/l Kim said, "The global climate crisis demands a unified approach, and today, at COP29, we remain fully-committed to our comprehensive strategy emphasising on climate-conscious policies and sustainable economic growth that benefit the people and economies of all ASEAN nations. We aim to foster deeper collaborations to tackle these shared environmental challenges and hope to enhance regional resilience by implementing effective climate solutions.”
 
Strategically located in the Blue Zone at COP29, the pavilion serves as a dynamic platform for Malaysia to advocate for collective action and shared responsibilities in climate finance resilience, advancements in renewable energy, progress on carbon markets, and cross-border collaboration in biodiversity protection, empowering youth and a robust circular economy agenda.

Set to ignite transformative conversations during the two weeks Conference of Parties, a robust lineup of prominent local and international speakers will feature keynotes and panel discussions including cross-border negotiations aimed to address pressing environmental challenges, promote resilient initiatives and to secure a more sustainable future for Malaysia and around Southeast Asia.
