Forest CoverIncrease carbon sink through afforestation and reforestation with a target of planting 500,000 new trees.
| This strategy seeks to increase Brunei Darussalam’s carbon sink through afforestation
and reforestation programmes with a target of planting 500,000 new trees by 2035.
Increasing our forest cover would increase our carbon sequestration potential. This will
have positive effects on habitats, biodiversity, and ecosystems.
A further 400,000 trees from the existing target have been proposed leading up to
2035. However, this target requires the establishment of a sustainable funding and
planting mechanism. Additionally, full participation of the public and private sectors is
essential to ensure an integrated approach for a successful reforestation program.
