KUCHING: Sarawak will unveil its long-anticipated Sustainability Blueprint during the Asia Carbon Conference (ACC 2025), to be held from 29 to 30 May at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK).
The blueprint, which sets out Sarawak’s strategic direction for achieving a low-carbon and sustainable future, will be officiated by Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg during the opening ceremony.
Organised by Place Borneo Sdn Bhd, ACC 2025 is expected to convene over 400 stakeholders, including regional policymakers, business leaders, and sustainability experts. This year’s conference theme, Creating an Integrated ASEAN Marketplace for Carbon, will centre on accelerating regional collaboration in carbon trading and environmental responsibility.
One of the key sessions will be a panel discussion titled “How are businesses tackling emission increases? Will there be new buyers of carbon credits in Asia?” — spotlighting the evolving regulatory landscape, procurement challenges, and pricing disparities between public and private carbon markets.
Among the speakers are Norihiro Kimura, senior climate negotiator from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; Win Sim Tan, APAC representative at Verra; Jen Wee Kang, CEO of Redex; and Ariana Cohen, senior consultant at JET.
Organisers described the conference as a pivotal platform for shaping Asia’s carbon market ecosystem, facilitating cross-sector dialogue, and advancing the region’s decarbonisation goals.
