KUCHING: Sarawak is developing a Sustainable Blueprint to guide all government agencies, businesses and communities in achieving its desired sustainability goals.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the blueprint will address concerns related to biodiversity conservation and natural resources management.
He stated that the blueprint would also address climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as concurrently creating an enabling environment with modern infrastructure in tandem with the country’s fourth industrial revolution (IR.4.0).
“Sarawak plans to priorities its environmental sustainability and align its development path with its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The state will pursue a balanced economic growth by adopting a responsible approach towards development of its natural resources,” he said.
He said this in his address at the first Malaysian Conservation Conference (MCC) hosted by Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) together with Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (PERHILITAN), Sabah Parks and Sabah Wildlife Department here on Tuesday (March 29).
Abang Johari disclosed that Sarawak would also develop master plans for development of smart cities that emphasis on environmental sustainability.
“In fact, a Kuching Smart City Master Plan has already been developed with low carbon mobility and smart city infrastructure being considered for the state’s capital city,” he said.
