    Categories of green technology
    Green technology covers a broad area of production and consumption technologies. The adoption and use of 
    green technologies involves the use of environmental technologies for monitoring and assessment, pollution 
    prevention and control, and remediation and restoration. Monitoring and assessment technologies are used to 
    measure and track the condition of the environment, including the release of natural or anthropogenic materi-
    als of a harmful nature. Prevention technologies avoid the production of environmentally hazardous substances 
    or alter human activities in ways that minimize damage to the environment; it encompasses product substitution 
    or the redesign of an entire production process rather than using new pieces of equipment. Control technolo-
    gies render hazardous substances harmless before they enter the environment. Remediation and restoration 
    technologies embody methods designed to improve the condition of ecosystems, degraded through naturally 
    induced or anthropogenic effects.

    Country experience: Green technology policy in Malaysia
    In Malaysia, green technology has been recognized as a driver for future economic growth, energy security, 
    climate change mitigation and adaptation. In April 2009, the Malaysian prime minister proclaimed his vision of a 
    Green Malaysia and demonstrated his commitment to climate change mitigation and energy security by esca-
    lating the advancement of green technology through the creation of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology 
    and Water. The prime minister further enunciated his vision by developing Putrajaya and Cyberjava as pioneer 
    townships in green technology that were to become a showcase for the development of other townships across 
    the country.
    The national green technology policy was developed in cooperation with all relevant parties to strengthen the 
    institutional frameworks and policy coherence. The policy was designed to generate benefits in four areas: 
    energy, environment, economy and social conditions. Progress will be monitored by a variety of indicators. 
    Green technologies are to be developed in four core sectors: energy, buildings, water and waste management, 
    and transport. Additionally, work is underway to develop a green technology roadmap for Malaysia.
