MALAYSIA REMAINS COMMITTED TO ACCELERATE TRANSFORMATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE FUTURE

BELÉM, Brazil, Dec. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Malaysia Pavilion concluded its participation at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, reaffirming the nation's commitment to accelerate transformative solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future. Over the two weeks, the Pavilion served as a vibrant hub for meaningful knowledge exchange across five critical topics, each solidifying Malaysia's leadership in sustainability, positioning the nation as a biodiversity champion, and encouraging sustained momentum beyond COP30.

Throughout the 10 day program from 10th until 21st November 2025, the Malaysia Pavilion hosted 25 sessions featuring speakers from local and global government, industry, academia, and civil society, drawing over 1,100 participants in person and online, and more than 5,000 visitors to the pavilion to learn more about the Malaysian culture as well as the nation's initiatives in climate action.

Centred on five key thematic pillars, Restoring Rainforests, Rivers, and Reefs; Energy Transition Pathways for Developing Nations; Climate Justice in the Global South; Future-Proofing Water, Food Systems, and Industry; and Unlocking Finance for Net Zero, the Pavilion fostered impactful discussions on Malaysia's holistic and inclusive approach to sustainability. These dialogues reflected the nation's commitment to bridging policy, innovation, and community action, ensuring that every conversation can be translated into actionable pathways towards net zero.

Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), YB Dato' Sri Huang Tiong Sii, said, "This year's Pavilion, themed Climate Action Now: Net Zero Pathways Unlocked, truly represents Malaysia's evolution from ambition to implementation. Even as some parts of the world begin to waver in their climate commitments, Malaysia remains resolute in pushing forward our agenda for a sustainable, just, and resilient future. We believe that genuine progress requires persistence, and we will continue to act decisively, guided by science, strengthened by partnerships, and driven by our shared responsibility to the planet and future generations."

Meanwhile, the Malaysia Pavilion explored intergenerational leadership through a panel of youths where young leaders took the stage to highlight how their generation is shaping climate governance as rights-holders and partners in co-creating solutions with policymakers and institutions. The "Youth on the Brink: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Change" session concluded with breakout groups that allowed attendees to exchange insights and expectations on COP30, underscoring the value of inclusive engagement in shaping climate outcomes.

COP30 in Belém delivered a package of decisions that shifted the global climate agenda toward implementation, equity, and resilience, while revealing persistent gaps in global mitigation ambition. Parties agreed to triple adaptation finance by 2035, established a new climate finance work programme, and launched both the Global Implementation Accelerator and to develop a Just Transition Mechanism to support equitable and green transitions. Adaptation efforts were strengthened through the adoption of a voluntary global indicator framework for the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA).

Another achievement was the adoption of the Belém Gender Action Plan, which embeds gender equality, inclusion, and women's leadership across climate policymaking and implementation. This reinforces the need for climate actions that respond to the differentiated needs of women and girls, especially those in vulnerable and marginalized communities.

Under the Global Stocktake (GST), COP30 advanced guidance for the second GST process in 2028, emphasizing alignment with the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement and enhanced support for developing countries. Progress under the Mitigation Work Programme (MWP) focused on continuing technical dialogues and sectoral cooperation to accelerate emissions reductions.

Nature and land use also received heightened attention, including the launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, designed to provide long-term, performance-based financing for tropical forest conservation. However, Parties again failed to reach agreement on a binding global phase-out of fossil fuels and commitments on deforestation and land-use remained largely voluntary and lacking enforceability. Key decisions in particular on fossil fuels, forest protection, and climate-finance delivery are long-dated or non-binding, limiting their near-term impact and leaving significant mitigation gaps.

Overall, COP30 delivered meaningful institutional and financial frameworks that can benefit developing countries, especially in advancing adaptation, gender-responsive climate action, just transitions, and nature conservation. COP30 also underscores the need for accelerated political will and stronger outcomes at future COPs to keep the 1.5°C goal within reach.

The Malaysia Pavilion stands as a testament to Malaysia's readiness to lead by example, demonstrating that sustainable growth and environmental stewardship can progress hand-in-hand. As COP30 draws to a close, the Pavilion reaffirms that the journey toward net zero is not just a whole-of-nation, but a whole-of-region approach that requires collective commitment of governments, private sectors, communities, and individuals alike. Looking ahead to COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, Malaysia carries forward the collaborative spirit of Belém and the global mutirão, committed to unlocking new pathways to net zero and continuing to inspire global action through leadership, innovation, and resolve.

The Malaysia Pavilion at COP30 is spearheaded by NRES, implemented by the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), and supported by national partners Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Maybank.

MALAYSIA REMAINS COMMITTED TO ACCELERATE TRANSFORMATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE FUTURE

GLENDORA, Calif., March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Electric mobility brand Hiboy is making a bigger move into physical retail. The company's compact commuter e-bike, the Hiboy C1, is now appearing in select Costco warehouse locations across the United States, and members can currently find it.

For a brand that first built its reputation online, the Costco rollout signals a broader shift toward traditional retail shelves. It also puts the Hiboy C1 in front of a much wider audience of everyday riders who may be encountering electric bikes for the first time during a routine warehouse visit.

From Online Mobility Brand to Warehouse Aisles

Costco has become an increasingly interesting place to spot e-bikes lately. Alongside everything from bulk groceries to patio furniture, the warehouse giant has quietly expanded its selection of personal mobility products.

For Hiboy, getting a product onto those warehouse floors is no small feat. Costco is known for a tightly controlled product lineup, often carrying only a handful of models in each category. That means every item must pass internal evaluations around reliability, value, and customer demand.

The appearance of the Hiboy C1 suggests the retailer sees growing interest in affordable electric transportation, particularly bikes designed for short daily trips and city commuting.

Hiboy has been steadily expanding its retail footprint in recent years. In addition to Costco, the brand's scooters and e-bikes can also be found through national retailers like Best Buy and Walmart, signaling a shift from a purely digital brand toward broader mainstream distribution.

20% OFF: A Lower Entry Price for Costco Members

For Costco shoppers, the new listing also comes with a price advantage. The Hiboy C1 is currently offered with a 20% discount, bringing the commuter-focused e-bike into a price range that's attractive for riders curious about trying electric transportation without committing to a high-end model.

That combination, warehouse availability plus a reduced price, is often how many first-time riders end up purchasing their first e-bike.

And unlike online orders, warehouse availability means some customers may be able to pick one up and ride it home the same day.

The Hiboy C1: A Compact City Commuter

Positioned as an everyday commuter bike, the Hiboy C1 focuses on practical urban riding rather than high-performance specs.

The bike features a minimalist step-through design with a streamlined one-piece frame and internally routed wiring. The integrated construction removes visible weld seams, giving the bike a cleaner appearance compared to many entry-level commuter models.

Key features include:

• Suspension: Front suspension fork for smoother city riding
• Lighting: Integrated headlight for improved visibility
• Riding Modes: Pure electric, pedal assist, and standard bicycle mode

The setup makes the Hiboy C1 suitable for short urban commutes, neighborhood rides, and quick errands, exactly the kind of trips where many riders are starting to swap cars for lighter electric mobility.

Why Warehouse Retail Still Matters for E-Bikes

While many e-bike brands grow primarily through online channels, physical retail remains an important way for new riders to discover and experience e-bikes. Seeing a bike in person, and knowing it comes from a retailer with a well-known return policy, can make customers more comfortable making the jump to electric transportation.

For Costco, adding more personal mobility products also reflects a broader shift in consumer behavior. E-bikes and electric scooters have become increasingly common in cities as commuters look for alternatives to traffic, parking costs, and rising fuel prices. Affordable, entry-level commuter bikes like the Hiboy C1 are often where that transition begins.

Looking Ahead

Hiboy's arrival in Costco stores may be just the beginning of a deeper retail partnership. As interest in electric transportation continues to grow, warehouse retailers and big-box chains are becoming an important gateway for bringing e-bikes to a broader audience.

For now, Costco members browsing the warehouse aisles may notice something new parked between the seasonal displays and sporting goods section: a compact commuter e-bike designed to make everyday trips a little easier.

And with a 20% member discount attached, the Hiboy C1 could end up being one of the more accessible entry points into electric riding yet.
