Abstract
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the Environmental
Management Practices (EMPs) projects that offer developing countries an
opportunity to attract investment in clean energy technologies and promote
sustainable development. The mechanism is expected to benefit economically,
environmentally and socially, which means it will help to achieve the sustainable
development agenda. This thesis synthesis the state of knowledge on the factors
influencing EMPs towards CDM implementation in Malaysia and how the
antecedents influence the CDM implementation. The objective of this research is to
examine the Malaysian context in energy, agriculture and forestry sectors in terms of
determining the factors influencing EMPs towards CDM implementation in Malaysia
and investigate whether business networking is the moderator. Data collected from a
review of the previous literature and related government documents is the source for
further exploration for data analysis and will constitute the basis of the solution
presented in this research. To achieve these objectives, this study selected the
institutional theory as the theoretical basis to explicate the proposed hypotheses.
Finally, this study provides recommendations and suggestions on further studies on
how Malaysia can create synergies to create the paradigm shift among EMPs towards
the green environment and sustainable development objectives.
