The Sultanate’s capital Bandar Seri Begawan and economic hubs along the coasts are under threat against the “adverse ramifications of climate change” as the sea level is expected to rise at 1.1 metre by the end of the century. This was said by Minister of Development Dato Paduka Awang Haji Mohd Juanda bin Haji Abdul Rashid during the opening of the Climate Action Week at the Brunei Mid-Year Conference and Exhibition 2022 (Brunei MYCE 2022) on Wednesday, adding that the country’s mean monthly rainfall is forecast to increase to 500mm by 2050. More details in Thursday’s Borneo Bulletin.
