Abstract: Malaysia is blessed with abundant resources. The rapid development of the country since independence was mainly supported by the use of natural resources. Over the past six decades, Malaysia has evolved from a primary economy dependent on mining, rubber and oil palm plantation, to manufacturing-based secondary economy, morphing into a service-based tertiary economy. Natural resources have served the nation well as the growth engine. For the benefits of the existing, as well as the future generations, it is crucial for the country to embark on green growth. To support this development strategy, green technology has been identified to catalyse sustainable economic growth. Green technology is cross-sectoral in nature, which presents a solution in balancing the needs for economic development and our responsibility towards the environment. The production and development of green technology offer the opportunity to stimulate economic activities in various sectors, creating jobs and attracting investment. Green technology also offers the capability of mitigating negative environment impact resulting from economic activities and the application provides the solution to realise the country’s commitment to the world. There is a growing global need to deal with dangers of climate change, in part through the implementation of green technology.
