National Carbon Market Policy (NCMP): A New Chapter in Malaysia's Climate Policy

22 April 2026
  • The NCMP provides a structured framework to catalyse cost-effective climate action through a high-integrity, inclusive carbon market that accelerates national decarbonisation goals.

  • It supports Malaysia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) 3.0 target to reduce absolute emissions by 15 to 30 million tCO2e by 2035, through both domestic initiatives and international cooperation.

  • The policy is anchored on four pillars: (i) Implementing a high-integrity market; (ii) Driving a conducive ecosystem; (iii) Accelerating carbon credit trading; and (iv) Strengthening domestic and international linkages. 

  • It utilises a Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) Curve to prioritise low-cost domestic mitigation while leveraging international carbon finance for high-cost, "hard-to-abate" measures.
