Nicholas Mujah, Environmental activist from Sri Aman, Sarawak
*Carbon Trading Profits: A New Avenue for Giant Companies in Sarawak*
In short, according to Mujah carbon trading is between one country and another. Countries that preserve forests / don't cut down forests (replace forests with polluting industries) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will be paid by countries that have exceeded their permitted carbon emission limits.
Sarawak has passed the Sarawak Land Code (carbon storage) 2022 and the Sarawak Forest Ordinance (forest carbon activity) 2022. While in Sabah, the Sabah Biodiversity Enactment 2020 has been established.
All this is the preparation of the state government for carbon trading. But the question arises whether the people/indigenous people will be able to benefit from the forest they take care of?
According to Mujah, looking at the current situation, it is clear that the original forest owners will not benefit. In the law that has been approved, it does not state that the people will be paid with a certain amount of money.
In the case of Sarawak, the indigenous people cannot claim the forest or land in their village as theirs without a title deed. Therefore, the people of Sarawak should be aware that in order to benefit directly. It is at this time that they should put pressure on the GPS government so that in the law that is passed there should be a stipulation of the return of carbon trading revenue to the people in a certain percentage. The people of Sarawak should be aware and aware of every decision and law passed by the state government. If it is not in favor of the people, then the people should rise up and protest. What can be observed now, according to Mujah, The giant company that owns PL on thousands of hectares of land in Sarawak will once again profit from carbon trading. Once they made a lot of profit from logging and plantation. Is it fair that those who destroy the environment are the ones who are paid because they supposedly preserve the forest?
