Hashim S Djojohadikusumo was appointed chairman of the Indonesian delegation at the 29th UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024 with several climate diplomacy themes.

"I have been appointed by the President as his special envoy, the Presidential Special Envoy of the Republic of Indonesia at the COP29 Conference," said Hashim as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 29.

Apart from being the chairman of the Indonesian delegation, he was also appointed as a special envoy for energy and the environment (Special Energy for Energy and Environment) by President Prabowo Subianto.

With the meeting being held, Hashim said the delegates would finalize the diplomacy carried out by Indonesia to ensure that the targets targeted will be achieved later.

"I think it's getting more mature, the more we cook it up and I'm optimistic that the goals of the Indonesian government will be achieved," said Hashim.

Meanwhile, Minister of Environment (LH) Hanif Faisol Nurofiq said Indonesia would explain the achievement of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the event which began on November 11, 2024.

In addition, Indonesia will also spur emission reduction in all sectors and will also be discussed regarding the carbon trade being explored in bilateral diplomacy with a number of countries.

He ensured that on this occasion Indonesia would convey all the achievements that had been successfully carried out, in accordance with the targets set in Indonesia's Nationally Determined Contribution climate document.

Based on the Enhanced NDC document, Indonesia's emission reduction until 2030 is targeted at 31.89 percent with its own efforts and an increase of up to 43.2 percent if it gets international support.
