Brunei Darussalam hosted the International Conference on Biodiversity in Bandar Seri Begawan from June 11-13, 2024, centered on the theme “Nature as the Basis for a Sustainable Economy.” With 70% of its 5765 km² area covered in forests, Brunei has traditionally depended on oil and gas for revenue. However, diminishing reserves and growing concerns over climate change have prompted the nation to explore sustainable economic activities within its vast forest areas.
