Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> seeks to deliver both sustainable financial returns and measurable environmental outcomes, supporting the country\u2019s transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy.<\/p><p><\/p><p>As KWAP\u2019s third catalytic investment programme, Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> builds on the foundation laid by Dana Pemacu and Dana Perintis, both of which were launched to catalyse Malaysia\u2019s private markets and strengthen the country\u2019s investment ecosystem. Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> advances this agenda by introducing a dedicated climate-focused investment strategy, mobilising institutional capital towards measurable decarbonisation and resilience outcomes.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> was launched by Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Johari bin Abdul Ghani, Minister of Plantation and Commodities and Acting Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, at the Kuala Lumpur Sustainability Summit (KLSS) 2025. The initiative reflects KWAP\u2019s long-term commitment to achieve a Net Zero investment portfolio by 2050, while expanding its role as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth through climate-focused investments that create lasting value for Malaysia.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Structured as a multi-asset investment strategy, Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> prioritises opportunities that drive meaningful climate impact while generating sustainable long-term returns.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Hazman Hilmi Sallahuddin, Chief Investment Officer of KWAP, said the launch of Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> reflects the organisation\u2019s commitment to align investment strategy with Malaysia\u2019s long-term climate objectives.<\/p><p><\/p><p>\u201cAs a responsible institutional investor, KWAP is taking a significant step forward in advancing the nation\u2019s transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> is an integral part of this effort and demonstrates how institutional capital can be mobilised to drive both environmental impact and sustainable economic growth. Through this fund, we aim to invest in solutions that create lasting value for Malaysia\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p><p><\/p><p>The initiative is guided by KWAP\u2019s impact measurement framework, which measures impact across six dimensions including national alignment, climate resilience, and <span style=\"display: inline-block;\">co-benefits<\/span> indicators\u00a0 aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The \u2018+\u2019 in Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> represents these co-benefit indicators, that can have exponential impact from climate-focused investments, reflecting KWAP\u2019s recognition that a credible climate strategy must also address interconnected development goals such as food security, clean water, energy access and inclusive economic growth.<\/p><p><\/p><p>\u201cDana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> aims to deliver both environmental and financial impact, targeting the mitigation or reduction of up to one million metric tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e through <span style=\"display: inline-block;\">climate-aligned<\/span> investments. This initiative reinforces KWAP\u2019s role as a responsible institutional, reflecting its long-term commitment to embedding sustainability into Malaysia\u2019s financial ecosystem,\u201d added Hazman.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Dana Iklim<sup>+<\/sup> is strategically aligned with key national frameworks, including the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), Ekonomi MADANI, and the Ministry of Finance\u2019s GEAR-uP initiative, which collectively aim to accelerate private market participation, promote sustainable growth and position Malaysia as a leader in green investment. The fund also supports Malaysia\u2019s broader climate ambitions under the 13<sup>th<\/sup> Malaysia Plan, affirming KWAP\u2019s leadership in driving the nation\u2019s low-carbon transition.<\/p><p><\/p><p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwap.gov.my\/stg\">kwap.gov.my<\/a>.<\/p><p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[27],"tags":[641],"media_centre":[172],"class_list":["post-31860","media-centre","type-media-centre","status-publish","hentry","category-press-release","tag-2025-en","media_centre-press-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
