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.

As part of the summit, a Forests and Land Use Event was held on Nov 2, aimed at re-affirming collective commitments to preserve forests and reverse deforestation. Brunei has forest coverage of 72 per cent, with a capacity to absorb about 13.9 MtCO2e of carbon emissions annually. Representing the government of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah at the World Leaders Summit event was Minister of Foreign Affairs II Awang Erywan Mohd Yusof as representative of Asean chair for 2021, and Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Energy Azhar Yahya, as Brunei’s executive committee chair on climate change.
