State premier Abang Johari Openg said the blueprint, developed by the state’s energy and environmental sustainability ministry, features 10 pillars with 48 strategies and 111 action plans.
“The Sarawak Sustainability Blueprint 2030 encompasses every facet of our sustainability agenda, designed to integrate green principles into the very fabric of our society and economy,” he said in his keynote address at the Asia Carbon Conference 2025 in Kuching today, Bernama reported.
Abang Johari said the blueprint sets a strong example for environmental action at the state level.
He said the strategic roadmap for Sarawak’s transition to a green economy outlines the state’s commitment to accelerating renewable energy adoption, advancing carbon capture and storage, and enhancing forest and land conservation.
It includes promoting green industries and investments, building sustainable cities through circular economy practices and developing a future-ready workforce through education, skills and research.
Looking ahead, he said, Sarawak has pledged to publish a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory report by 2027 to track the state’s emissions and stay within its carbon budget.
Abang Johari also said the Sarawak government is finalising its own carbon plan aimed at facilitating carbon market investments.
“The carbon plan is pivotal to offer a detailed implementation framework designed to catalyse carbon trading and foster a vibrant carbon market.
“Central to the plan is its focus on establishing a well-regulated and investor-friendly carbon market that balances supply and demand, thereby incentivising emissions reductions and attracting green investments to Sarawak,” he said. - FMT
