The impact of climate change has become increasingly evident in recent years, reinforcing the urgent need to address environmental and climate challenges both locally and globally. This matter was highlighted during a Nature Walk at Berakas Forest Reserve on 23rd June morning. Such an event aims to promte green diplomacy and community engagement.

The Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism also shared that the country's national strategy reflects these priorities through the National Forest Policy and the Brunei National Climate Change Policy. Dayang Hajah Tutiaty binti Haji Abdul Wahab explained that with approximately 72% of the country's land currently under forest cover, Brunei Darussalam is committed to gazetting at least 55 per cent of its land area as forest reserves. The nature walk is just one of several initiatives organised by the EU - Brunei Darussalam Partnership Facility, in collaboration with Green Brunei.
