KUCHING, May 1 (Bernama) -- The Sarawak Government is set to launch the Sarawak Sustainability Blueprint 2030 at the end of May, which will serve as a strategic roadmap for the state’s transition to a green economy.

The blueprint features 10 strategic thrusts, 48 strategies, and 111 action plans, with targets including the development of 10 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity and achieving a 70 per cent renewable energy mix by 2030.

"Recently finalised by the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability Sarawak, the blueprint was a key point of discussion during a high-level roundtable session held earlier today at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
