📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Malaysia’s commitment to sustainable forest management, formalised through its 1992 Rio pledge, provides the foundation for a governance framework that seeks to balance economic development with environmental stewardship. However, growing pressures from global market expectations, ESG compliance requirements, declining natural forest resources and the increasing cost burden associated with sustainable forest management practices have exposed structural gaps in existing policy incentives and implementation effectiveness. These emerging challenges highlight the need for a comprehensive assessment of current government initiatives to determine whether existing financial, regulatory and institutional mechanisms are sufficient to support long-term sustainable wood use and industry competitiveness. This study examines the range of policy, regulatory and incentive-based measures implemented by the Malaysian government to promote sustainable wood use, drawing on official policy documents and academic literature. It synthesises key components of Malaysia’s legal frameworks, certification and timber legality assurance schemes, financial incentives and technical support programs. The analysis evaluates the effectiveness of these initiatives in encouraging sustainable forest management practices, maintaining forest cover and diversifying timber supply sources, while also identifying persistent challenges such as economic disincentives, limitations in forest plantation development and regulatory complexity. The study concludes with targeted recommendations aimed at strengthening existing mechanisms, improving policy coherence and addressing identified gaps to support the long-term environmental and economic viability of Malaysia’s timber sector.
