Malaysia emits like the rich but speaks like the poor
Malaysia faces political, economic and constitutional barriers to curb carbon emission. As the climate bill nears Parliament, can policy finally match the country's carbon reality?
Consumption demand, which has long powered America’s formidable economy, rests on the promise of cheap energy. But the Trump administration has conflated that with fossil fuels, confusing historic correlation with causation and, in the process, jeopardizing long-term prosperity.
Policy & Finance
The future of development finance is not primarily about money
Multilateral development banks have not kept pace with changes to the global financial environment. For middle-income countries like India, accessing knowledge and technology is now a bigger challenge than raising capital, which suggests that these institutions must rethink their operating model.
If the war in Iran does not end soon, the Malaysian government must have more arrows in its energy policy quiver.
