KOTA KINABALU, June 28 — Sabah is in the process of signing on to a two million hectare carbon credit conservation programme that had previously attracted controversy.
“This initiative is expected to become a prominent CO2 sink, reinforcing our proactive stance on climate restoration,” he said in a statement here today. He said that the revenue from the carbon credit initiative would bolster Sabah's annual development grant from the federal government, significantly aiding the state's infrastructural enhancement and poverty eradication campaigns.
“We anticipate closer collaboration with our neighbours and other stakeholders to reach our shared sustainability objectives,” he said.
