Sarawak, one of the largest states in Malaysia, has announced plans for a research and development center (R&D) for climate change that would use emerging technologies to offer solutions for climate problems.
The planned center will bring the efforts to limit climate change, while leading risk assessment and adjustment programs. Dubbed the Sarawak Climate Change Center, the authorities say that the initiative will be the leading Hub of Southeast Asia for research into climate change.
Sarawak Prime Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari opened the plans during a public lecture at the ISEAS-YUSOF ISHAK Institute, where various stakeholders were present in the industry. Abang Johari inquired that the State uses a proactive approach to climate change instead of investing funds to set up new research institutes.
While the Sarawak Climate Change Center is undergoing construction, Abang Johari says that the state will roll out a framework for business authorities to meet the worldwide standards for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).
“Once fully implemented, this framework will strengthen investor confidence, promote responsible business practices and strengthen the role of Sarawak as a leader in sustainability management, which contributes to the green economy of Asean and resilience in the long term,” said Abang Johari.
In his keynote address, the State Prime Minister in the inner operation of the incoming Climate Research Institute. He hinted on integrating blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in his activities.
With reference to the Sarawak Sustainability Blueprint from 2024, Abang Johari noted that the Blockchain-compatible carbon markers center will pioneer to enable companies to achieve their sustainability goals. With AI, the State says that the resource management and disaster prediction use outings will pursue, which hints towards talent development for emerging technologies.
Apart from blockchain and AI, the blueprint specifically renewable technologies and ecotourism biotechnologies for environmental consensus efforts.
“As a resource -rich and diverse state, we continue to balance economic growth with the responsibility of the environment,” said Abang Johari. “Through digital transformation, renewable energy and low carbon solutions, Sarawak is a future of progress and opportunities.”
In recent months, Malaysia has doubled its efforts to use emerging technologies to investigate innovation to further innovation and solutions for issues that the Southeast -Asian nation have long plagued. In mid-February the Malaysia Anti-corruption Commission (MACC) turned to AI and Blockchain to combat fraud, with reference to efficiency and unchanging properties.
Malaysia is currently welcoming a series of foreign investments in its local ecosystem that is designed to activate acceptance. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Google (Nasdaq: Googl) are fighting for market share, and the country rolls out robust frameworks to guide the activities of service providers.
UN recognizes the digital transformation of Vietnam
Elsewhere, the United Nations have tapped Vietnam as an important player in the global push for digital transformation, with reference to earlier milestones and innovative stripes.
The envoy of the UN General Secretary General on Technology Amandep Singh Gill revealed the views of the Agency during a meeting with the permanent representative of Vietnam at the UN, Dang Hoang Giang. Gill said that Vietnam has aroused the interest of the international organization in recent years, given the steps with AI and blockchain technology.
Vietnam is at the top of the charts in regional and global degree of acceptance for emerging technologies, despite many challenges that the Southeast Asian nation have too many tests. One study places Vietnam at the top of the stack for the adoption of the Decentralized Finance (Defi), with a handful of web3 -one who live there.
On the other hand, there are various Vietnamese AI companies, including FPT, VINAI and Viettel, their stamp in the region, and income from semiconductor production is at a record high.
The O&O centers of Vietnam have been staffed by talented researchers and have increased Vietnam to become a member of the UN expert group and the policy dialogue on AI management mechanisms.
In his reaction to Gill’s distinctions, Giang noted that Vietnam’s progress with digitization is not a flash in the pan. They are rather the peak of various government initiatives that have been designed to cause economic growth and to become a ‘modern industrialized country’ towards the end of the decade.
Giang added that by 2045 Vietnam will be a nation with a high income, leaning on technology and innovation. Aware that the UN has tapped the country as an ally in the march for digitization, Giang insisted on the body for increased support to realize his ambitions.
To begin with, Giang says that the UN can offer policy support to Vietnam and at the same time offer financing and technical support for digitization objectives. Other possible support areas are capacity building for the locals and promoting public-private partnerships for semiconductors.
While the UN Vietnam sees as an ally in the digital transformation drive, the local ecosystem actively takes on the next generation of technologies. The national strategy for blockchain has its sights on incubating 20 global web3 brands while it rolls out a legal framework for the ecosystem.
Moreover, there are plans to train more than 1 million inhabitants on AI and Blockchain with integrations in data storage and identity verification systems. To underline its effort, Vietnam strengthens the bilateral ties with the United States for AI and Web3 technologies, in particular the development of ‘a more resilient semiconductor chain’.
