(Kuching, 30th) Sarawak has made a significant step forward in its sustainable development agenda by officially launching the Sarawak Sustainable Development Blueprint 2030, becoming the first region in Malaysia to formulate a comprehensive long-term strategic plan for green economic transformation.
Sarawak's Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari, stated that this detailed roadmap, developed by the Sarawak Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability, will serve as a core strategic framework to propel Sarawak as a leader in low-carbon development in Southeast Asia.
"Today, I am filled with great honor and pride to officially launch this Sarawak Sustainable Development Blueprint 2030. It is also the first initiative of its kind in Malaysia."
He pointed out this during his speech at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Asia Carbon Conference yesterday.
The blueprint encompasses 10 strategic cores, 48 special strategies, and 111 comprehensive action plans, covering all aspects of Sarawak's sustainable development agenda—from green policies to social and economic sectors.
Abang Johari emphasized that the plan is not only a reference guide for internal policies in Sarawak but also solidifies Sarawak’s strategic leadership role at the regional level in supporting Malaysia in the low carbon transition and collective climate action.
"Sarawak is open to business, and more importantly, Sarawak is open to collaboration. We sincerely invite partners, investors, innovators, and like-minded nations to join us in this important and promising journey."
