WHAT IS PGA?

Penang State Government has always strived to realize the vision of making Penang a “Cleaner, Greener, Safer, Healthier, and Happier” state. In response to the global climate change issues and evolving paradigm of sustainable development, Penang State Economic Planning Unit, Penang Green Council, and Penang Institute mooted Penang Green Agenda.
