JAKARTA - Remembering today, three years ago, March 20, 2023, Vice President Ma'ruf Amin emphasized planting trees as an important part of faith. The narrative was revealed because Ma'ruf considered planting trees as an important teaching that could provide benefits for humanity.
Previously, climate change made life in the world threatened. This condition is because climate change has worsened natural disasters. All kinds of disasters are more frequent. This condition makes the Indonesian government start to carry out an agenda to save the environment.
Climate change is considered a real threat to life on earth. The rise in global average temperatures due to human activities in the industrial era must be handled wisely. This condition is because climate change can exacerbate the occurrence of natural disasters.
A country can be more often plagued by floods, landslides, earthquakes, and droughts. This condition can make many flora and fauna extinct. In fact, human life can be threatened.
As a result, the world began to blur out policies in reducing the impact of climate change. Countries that used to often exploit large natural resources began to be wise. Indonesia also received a sharp spotlight.
The level of exploitation of Indonesia's natural resources is known to be high. The Indonesian government then tried to commit to reducing exploitation activities. President Jokowi also tried to carry out an environmental rescue agenda in early March 2023.
He emphasized that Indonesia is one of the disaster-prone countries in the world. The natural disasters that are present are considered by Jokowi to be no longer ordinary disasters due to the influence of climate change. This condition makes Jokowi think that climate change is the most feared thing rather than war.
Jokowi also appealed to his staff to prepare and be alert to climate change. This narrative can make the impact of climate change on Indonesia no worse than other countries.
"What is the world afraid of today? It's not the pandemic anymore, it's not the war anymore, but what is more terrible that all countries are afraid of is climate change. And climate change is causing the frequency of natural disasters in the world to rise drastically. "
"We are not only dealing with floods, not only dealing with volcanoes that erupt, not only dealing with landslides. We are more often faced with earthquakes and other natural and non-natural disasters," said Jokowi as quoted by the ANTARA website, March 2, 2023.
Jokowi's desire for Indonesia to prepare for climate change was echoed by Ma'ruf Amin on March 20, 2023. The Vice President considers planting trees an important step in addressing the phenomenon of climate change.
Efforts to plant trees are considered to provide benefits to mankind. Moreover, planting trees is an order from the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The narrative shows that efforts to plant trees are an important part of faith.
"Among them, there are many things to do, planting trees as one of the branches of faith. That is, showing that it is part of faith. The Prophet said that if tomorrow the end of the world comes, today you can plant a tree."
"So planting trees is part of the faith and the order of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Planting trees in Pelalawan Regency. Shady trees, the earth is radiant. Build villages wholeheartedly light up hope. Indonesian villages, beautiful and independent," said Ma'ruf in a tree planting activity in Riau as quoted by the ANTARA website, March 20, 2023.
