In his address, the Regent of Pahang emphasised the  need for initiatives that empower the youth, especially in Pahang, to lead the green  transition among the communities in the state.  The Malaysia Greening Education Partnership Roadmap 2030 (MYGEP2030) aims to strengthen the  role of education in achieving sustainable development goals and integrating the climate  agenda into the education system in Malaysia through the following pillars. Greening Schools Malaysia will have adopted a green school accreditation scheme with at least 50% schools, colleges, and universities with green accreditation and operating sustainably.  Greening Curriculum All schools under Eco-Schools Malaysia will integrate and enhance climate change education modules in the national curriculum with elements of environmental studies by adopting inquiry-based and project-based learning pedagogies.
