The Malaysian Development Investment Authority (MIDA) and UNDP Malaysia are collaborating to launch the Malaysia SDG Investor Map in 2023. The Private Sector Dialogue on the SDG Investor Map was recently held to engage industry players in identifying new investment opportunities that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event emphasized the business case for redirecting funds to climate-sensitive investments, highlighting the potential for market returns and leadership in respective industries. The Chairman of MIDA expressed that the SDG Investor Map will assist in unveiling untapped opportunities for rapid development, providing the government with a clear direction for policy implementation and resource provision.
The keynote speech at the event emphasized the urgency of bold climate actions from the private sector and highlighted the business opportunities arising from Malaysia's net zero goal target. It was mentioned that every USD1 invested in the green economy yields USD4 in benefits, showcasing future growth potential for Malaysia. The second half of the event featured three parallel cluster discussions on renewable energy, green financing, and tech-based climate solutions. The inputs gathered from these discussions will be used to create the inaugural Malaysian SDG Investor Map, which will guide investors by identifying investment opportunities and business models that advance the SDGs.
The Malaysian SDG Investor Map aims to provide insights and tools needed by the private sector to increase their investments towards the SDGs. This will significantly contribute to filling the financing gap faced by governments to meet the country's SDG targets, including its climate ambitions. The map is expected to be launched in 2023 and will serve as a reference for both domestic and international investors.
