JAKARTA - Indonesia is increasingly leading by setting an example in implementing climate change commitments, in line with the support of three developed countries for emission balance in the forestry sector and other use or FOLU Net Sink 2030. Three representatives from developed countries namely the Minister of Great Britain (UK) for Asia, Energy, Climate and Environment Lord Zac Goldsmith, Norwegian Foreign Minister Tvinnereim, and Deputy Deputy Secretary for Climate Policy, Rick Duke. The three were present with LHKSiti Minister Nurbaya, in the World Climate Leaders ’ Insight on Indonesia ’s FOLU Net Sink 2030 session, at the Indonesia COP 27 UNFCCC Pavilion, Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Wednesday, November 9. In this session, the Minister of Environment and Forestry, Siti Nurbaya, said that the FOLU sector was one of the main focuses of achieving Indonesia's NDC to tackle climate change. "Indonesia is now one of the countries with the lowest deforestation rate. This is Indonesia's commitment based on evidence, not just promises as an active contribution to the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Pakta," said LHK Minister Siti Nurbaya in an electronic message received in Jakarta, Thursday, November 10. He added the importance of support and the role of millennials in overseeing the success of climate change policies, starting from policies at the central government level to the site level. "We appreciate and encourage the role of the younger generation as one of the stakeholders who participates in overseeing the success of climate change policies in Indonesia," said Siti Nurbaya. UK Minister Lord Zac Goldsmith appreciated Indonesia's success in maintaining its commitment to tackling global climate change. For this reason, collaboration and partnerships between countries must be further strengthened to achieve a more ambitious emission reduction. "Indonesia is a nature superpower, and Indonesia's ambition to protect and restore land is very important for global climate change," said Goldsmith. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway, Tvinnereim, said the same thing. According to him, Indonesia is one step ahead in tackling climate change. One of the biggest contributions to Indonesia's NDC achievement is the lowest deforestation decline in history for two decades, to 114 thousand ha per year in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. "Indonesia is an example and "leaders in the management of the forestry and land sector, as well as very open to building collaboration between Indonesia –Norwegia in climate change mitigation efforts," said Tvinnereim. The Norwegian government has just built a new partnership with the Government of Indonesia in the field of climate change and forestry through support for the implementation of Net Sink 2030 Forestry and Other Land Uses (FoLU). Its achievement strategies are through various efforts such as social forestry, moratorium on primary forest permits, peat management, forest and land fires control, law enforcement and various other efforts. For its various efforts in reducing emissions, Indonesia has also received a reward for payment based on the first term of climate agreement with Norway of 56 million dollars and a World Bank of 20.9 million dollars. "We are very optimistic about Indonesia's very ambitious FOLU Net Sink 2030 target and open up opportunities to collaborate with Indonesia," said Rick Duke, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Climate Policy.
