BRUNEI (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network): Brunei along with more than 110 countries endorsed the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use at the 26th Session of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26).

By endorsing the declaration, Brunei has joined in the effort to, among others, conserve forests and other terrestrial ecosystems, facilitate trade and development policies that do not drive deforestation and land degradation, reduce vulnerability, build resilience and enhance rural livelihoods, implement sustainable agriculture, and accelerate the transition to an economy that is resilient and advances forest, sustainable land use, biodiversity and climate goals.
