SDGs+Beyond Future Society for Life Week
City Climate Finance GAP Fund : Challenges and Opportunities Moving Forward
Malaysia
To highlights cities' critical role in combating climate change, as they consume 78% of global energy and produce over 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. With 68% of the global population projected to live in urban areas by 2050, transforming cities is essential. The Global Covenant of Mayors, with 11,500 local governments, emphasizes this, but stronger international collaboration is needed for timely decarbonization.
In 2023, eight Malaysian cities, including Iskandar Malaysia, received the City Climate Finance GAP Fund for low-carbon initiatives and flood risk management, supported by the World Bank. At Expo 2025 Osaka, experts from the World Bank and other organizations will discuss these initiatives, exploring partnerships to help Malaysia achieve its net-zero goals through international collaboration and knowledge exchange.
