Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy outlines ten strategies with a 2035 target.
The Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy outlines a whole-of-nation approach to address climate change, aiming to pave low carbon and climate-resilient pathways for a sustainable nation. The policy is underpinned by principles, values, and ten key strategies designed to reduce carbon emissions, increase carbon sinks, and strengthen climate resilience nationwide. The general target year for these strategies is 2035. Key obligations are structured around these ten strategies: 1) Industrial Emissions (reducing overall emissions, including zero routine flaring and reducing to As Low As Reasonably Practicable - ALARP), 2) Forest Cover (increasing carbon sinks), 3) Electric Vehicles (promoting adoption), 4) Renewable Energy (increasing deployment, noting limitations due to nature-based solutions priority), 5) Power Management (improving efficiency and grid management), 6) Carbon Pricing (implementing mechanisms), 7) Waste Management (reducing emissions from waste), 8) Climate Resilience & Adaptation (strengthening national capacity), 9) Carbon Inventory (improving GHG data collection and reporting), and 10) Awareness & Education (enhancing public understanding and action). Affected sectors explicitly mentioned or implied include industry (especially oil and gas due to flaring), forestry, transport, power generation and distribution, waste management, and potentially all sectors involved in GHG emissions and climate resilience. The policy references the Brunei Darussalam Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 2020 and mentions a 'Directive on Mandatory Reporting on Greenhouse Gases (GHG)' and 'Protokol Hijau'. While 2035 is the general target year, specific deadlines and compliance dates for individual strategies or reporting requirements are not detailed in this excerpt.

Brunei Darussalam adopts a Whole-of-Nation approach in addressing adverse changing climate patterns.
Through effective policies, careful planning and management, Brunei Darussalam is committed to pave low carbon and climate-resilient pathways for a sustainable
nation. This Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy underpins the principles, values and
strategies to reduce carbon emissions, increase carbon sink and strengthen climate resilience
nationwide.

Legislative Council. The Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy shall adopt ten key strategies with 2035 as a
general target year. Reduce overall emissions in the industrial sector through zero routine flaring and to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). This strategy seeks to lower carbon intensity from the industries in Brunei Darussalam through zero routine flaring and to "As Low As Reasonably Practicable" (ALARP). The main focus for the Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy is to reduce industrial emissions across the country by 2035. Increase 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. Increase total share of Electric Vehicles to 60% of total annual vehicle sales. This strategy seeks to reduce Brunei
Darussalam's carbon emissions from
the land transportation sector by
increasing Electric Vehicles (EV) to
60% of total vehicle sales by 2035.
Increase total share of renewable energy to at least 30% of total capacity in the power generation mix. This strategy seeks to ensure a
smooth transition for nationwide
adoption and use of renewable energy
technologies. This strategy focuses
on increasing total share of
renewable energy to at least 30% of
the total capacity in the power
generation mix using mainly solar
photovoltaic (PV) by 2035. Reduce GHG emissions by at least 10% through better supply and demand management of electricity consumption. This strategy seeks to reduce carbon
emissions contribution from the
power sector by focusing on
increasing energy efficiency and
conservation at both supply and
demand side. The aim is to reduce
GHG emissions from power generation
by at least 10% by 2035 (from BAU).
Impose price on carbon emissions. This strategy seeks to reduce carbon
intensity from all industrial
sectors and new power utilities in
Brunei Darussalam through
internalising the societal cost of
carbon emissions and impending
destructions from climate impacts.
This strategy intends to introduce
carbon pricing applicable to all
industrial facilities emitting
beyond a carbon emission limit
threshold at a carbon price per CO2e
by 2025. Reduce municipal waste to landfills to 1kg/person/day.
