As Malaysia continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable development, a new book, Foundations and Modeling of the Green Economy: A Guide for Malaysia, offers a timely and practical resource for policymakers, researchers, students, and sustainability practitioners.

The book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and advancing the green economy through an integrated, policy-oriented approach. It explains the core concepts behind the green economy and distinguishes it from related ideas such as green growth and the blue economy. More importantly, it connects these concepts to global benchmarks and the Sustainable Development Goals, making it highly relevant for Malaysia’s national development agenda.

A key feature of the book is its introduction of the Macroeconomic Green Economy Analysis and Research model, also known as M-GEAR. This analytical tool is designed to measure green economy progress, simulate policy scenarios, and assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of transition strategies.

By combining international best practices with Malaysia’s national context, the book bridges the gap between statistics, economic modelling, and policy design. It is positioned not only as a reference text, but also as a guide for those who want to understand how data-driven planning can support a more sustainable future.

With 248 pages across 8 chapters, Foundations and Modeling of the Green Economy encourages readers to “own the knowledge” and take an active role in leading the green transition.

The book is currently available for pre-order at a promotional price of RM35, including postage within Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.
