Brunei Darussalam will be the host of the ASEAN Centre for Climate Change, endorsed by other AMS during 17th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on the Environment held in August 2023. Other than that, their programmes on climate action are mostly arranged on the Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy (BDNCCP), outlining strategies, action plans, performance indicator (KPI), milestones and their appropriate monitoring mechanisms for climate mitigation and adaptation.
There are only two main energy sources in TPES, which crude oil remain as the domain. However, the amount of TPES has reduced gradually since 2006, then spiked again in 2010 and 2011. Brunei’s production was reported at 98,178 barrels of oil per day in 2021. This record is down from the previous record of 100,500 barrels of oil per day in 2020.
Oil products have been the domain of TFEC followed by electricity, which electricity consumption has been in a consistent increment trend since 2005.
In anticipation of the projected greenhouse gas emissions of their country in 2035, Brunei Darussalam made a framework called the National Climate Change and Policy document (BNCCP), with the aim of achieving a sustainable, low-carbon and climate-resilient country by 2035. The BNCCP outlines strategies, their corresponding action plans in climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as milestones. It is a derivative of their national development plan “Wawasan Brunei 2035” (Brunei Vision 2035). However, it is important to note that the BNCCP is not time-bound.
