JAKARTA - Closing 2025, Deputy Chairman of the MPR RI Eddy Soeparno gave a serious note regarding the anomaly of extreme weather that hit Indonesia. As a concrete mitigation step, he encouraged the Climate Change Management Bill (RUU) to be immediately enacted into law in 2026.
Climate Anomaly 2025: Floods in the Dry Season
Eddy Soeparno highlighted the climate phenomenon which is increasingly difficult to predict throughout 2025. According to him, the boundary between the rainy season and drought is now increasingly blurred, which has a direct impact on the food sector and the safety of residents.
"In 2025 we have already experienced climate anomalies, where floods occur in the dry season. This condition makes the planting and harvesting period of farmers irregular, while our fishermen are pushed by flash floods," said Eddy in a written statement, Friday (26/12).
Dukes of Hydrometric Disaster in Various Regions
Eddy explained a number of major disasters throughout 2025 as a wake-up call for the government and parliament:
Bali: Major flooding that has occurred again after almost 60 years. Sumatra (Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra): Flash floods that have taken thousands of lives. Indonesian coast: The threat of flash floods is becoming more permanent."This is no longer a future threat, but has already happened. This hydro-meteorological disaster must be anticipated immediately with a strong legal umbrella," he said.
Climate Change Bill Masuk Prolegnas Prioritas 2026
As a member of Commission XII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, which deals with the environment, Eddy ensured that the Climate Change Management Bill had been included in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) Priority 2026.
He emphasized that this law will later become a legal basis for:
Cross-sectoral coordination: Removing bureaucratic barriers between central and local governments. Sustainable Development: Emphasizing the country's commitment to environmentally conscious development. Law Enforcement: Provide strict sanctions for environmental destruction perpetrators who exacerbate the climate crisis.Invitation to Collaboration for the Future
Closing his remarks, Eddy invited all elements of society - from academics, activists, to business actors - to provide input on the draft bill.
"Addressing climate change requires tactical and responsive steps. I am open to all public input for the formation of an inclusive and solutive law," he concluded.
