NRES Strengthens National Climate Action Commitment Through ASEAN-Korea Methane Mitigation Project

PUTRAJAYA, July 31 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) has strengthened Malaysia's commitment to climate action through the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation (AKCMM), worth US$20 million, funded by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF). NRES said that the regional project was being implemented in nine ASEAN member states from 2024 to 2027, including Malaysia. According to NRES, the strategic partnership is carried out in collaboration with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), which acts as the implementing partner for the project under the Partnership for ASEAN-ROK Methane Action (PARMA), announced during the ASEAN-South Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting in 2023. 'This strategic initiative highlights NRES's key role in advancing the national environmental agenda and supporting ASEAN's aspiration towards a climate-resilient community,' the ministry said in a statement today. NRES said this commitment was continued through Malaysia's participation with more than 150 countries in signing the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). According to the statement, the pledge outlines Malaysia's commitment to collectively reduce global methane emissions by at least 30 per cent from 2020 levels by 2030. 'To that end, NRES will work closely with industry players to develop a national methane reduction framework and action plan by the end of this project,' it added. Meanwhile, NRES welcomed the potential for environmental cooperation between ASEAN and the United States (US) as well as China. According to the ministry, Malaysia reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening strategic regional cooperation in addressing environmental and climate change challenges through the 4th ASEAN-United States High-Level Dialogue on Environment and Climate Change and the 22nd ASEAN Plus Three Senior Officials Meeting on the Environment.

Kelantan explores rare earth mining and new energy for revenue growth

KOTA BHARU: The Kelantan government is actively exploring new revenue sources, including industrial mining of rare earth elements (REE), carbon exploration, and hydrogen energy development. Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan stated these initiatives aim to diversify the state's income and reduce reliance on traditional revenue streams. 'We always identify new economic opportunities as future growth resources, including REE. Kelantan is the second state with the largest mineral resources of non-radioactive rare earth elements (NR-REE) in Malaysia,' he said during the State Legislative Assembly session at the Kota Darulnaim Complex. However, Mohamed Fadzli noted that progress must align with federal laws, particularly as the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) finalises the National Climate Change Bill and National Carbon Market Policy. 'This is because the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) is at the final stage of tabling the National Climate Change Bill, in addition to the National Carbon Market Policy that is expected to be passed by the end of this year,' he explained. The state's cautious approach reflects the need to balance economic opportunities with regulatory compliance. Kelantan's NR-REE reserves position it as a key player in Malaysia's mineral sector, pending federal approvals. – Bernama

Acting ministers ensure continuity ahead of Parliament session

KUANTAN: Appointing acting ministers to fill vacant cabinet posts is crucial to ensure continuity, especially with the upcoming parliamentary session set to begin on July 21, said Minister of Plantation and Commodities Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. Johari, who has been tasked with temporarily overseeing the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, said the move is also necessary to address pressing issues under the ministry's purview. 'When there's a vacancy, the Prime Minister appoints someone to take on the role temporarily. With Parliament about to sit, there will be questions that require answers. For example, the Ministry of Economy needs to finalise the 13th Malaysia Plan, so someone has to be appointed to get the job done quickly. 'That's why an acting role is important to resolve critical matters within the next month or two,' he told reporters after officiating the 2025 UMNO Kuantan Division Delegates' Meeting today. Yesterday, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar announced that Johari has been appointed to carry out the duties and functions of the Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability with immediate effect. On May 28, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad announced his resignation as Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, effective July 4. Earlier, on June 27, Shamsul Azri announced that Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan had been appointed acting Minister of Economy, effective immediately, following the resignation of Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli on June 17. Both Rafizi and Nik Nazmi stepped down after failing to retain their respective positions as PKR deputy president and vice president in the party elections held in May. - Bernama
