Abstract
The field of renewable energy (RE) has been widely growing topic of fascination by researchers, industrialist and the public alike. This study tried to highlight the development of renewable energy usage in Malaysia as well as the world. In this paper, initiatives taken by the private and government schemes to nurture the development of sustainable energy in Malaysia are addressed. Malaysia is well rich within its huge potential of the use of sustainable natural resources due to an extremely moderate climate around the year. Only a minor adaptation and mitigation strategies need to be taken to push a popular and effective use of safe and renewable energy. It is necessary to develop proper plan by the local government as well as the central government of Malaysia for the sustainable development of renewable energy in Malaysia. The issues highlighted in this study is expected to garner a better understanding of how the topic of renewable energy can be better reflected as a growing and strengthening filed of research.

Usage of renewable energy resources has a significant impact on the natural flows of energy in the environment
Summary
Malaysia which is located between 1° and 7° North of the Equator, has all these renewable energy resources in abundance, but most of these energy resources are yet to be exploited. The dependency of fossil fuel for the energy production emits huge green house gases (GHG), mainly CO2. Such GHG emission creates serious consequences as climate change and rise of see level which implicitly helps to several devastating impacts that affects human lives as well as ecological balance of the entire planet. This paper reviews and analyzes the current and potential climate change challenges and environmental concerns related with energy systems: the status and challenges of energy accessibility and energy security; the acceptability of Malaysian rural and urban people towards the use of available renewable resources and their predicted contribution to Malaysian economy follow. The advancement of renewable energy technologies under private and government schemes that boost sustainable energy development in Malaysia are addressed
