JAKARTA - Jakarta Governor Ridwan Kamil's candidate will empower retired state civil servants (ASN) in carrying out Jakarta's greening program. Because they are considered to have experience.

"Building Jakarta can only be done together. These retired civil servants are very experienced in managing Jakarta. Thank God they are enthusiastic about helping," said Ridwan Kamil after discussions with retired Jakarta civil servants at the Ambhara Hotel, South Jakarta, Thursday, September 26.

The Environmental Program prepared by the pair of Governor and Deputy Governor Ridwan Kamil-Suswono aims to create a greener, healthier, and inclusive Jakarta.

The program has three main pillars, namely reducing pollution, adding and revitalizing green open spaces and public spaces, as well as green roofing policies.

According to him, retired Jakarta Provincial Government ASNs can assist in the socialization stage of programs related to green roof policies

Through this policy, it is hoped that buildings in Jakarta can use the roof as a green space to increase carbon dioxide absorption and reduce city temperature.

"I asked retirees from civil servants whether they want to be active in helping because we are in principle DKI: Decentralization, Collaboration, and Innovation, so for example they participate in socializing the elimination of land. We welcome them," said Ridwan Kamil.

Previously, Ridwan Kamil had stated that reforestation would be a program that would be carried out at the beginning of his leadership if he won the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) contestation.

According to him, the streets in the Jakarta area will be the first focus in the reforestation program.

"The first two years that we will do, ladies and gentlemen, we will green all the streets in Jakarta," he said.
