JAKARTA – Indonesia's campaign to be able to meet zero carbon emissions by 2060 has begun. Even the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has an active role in reducing the amount of carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2022.
"Alhamdulillah, we have reached 26 percent in 2022. And by 2050, God willing, we will be able to have net zero emissions," said Anies while commemorating World Environment Day and World Bike Day by riding a leisurely ride in the motorized vehicle-free day (HBKB) area or " car free day" (CFD) Sudirman-Thamrin, Jakarta, Sunday.
Anies said the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has rolled out various policies to save the environment, one of which is adding green areas and using environmentally friendly mass transportation or electric vehicles.
In addition, the former Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia is actively campaigning for "gowes" activities with his family and employees of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
As he did on World Bike Day, Anies took the time to cycle starting from the DKI Jakarta City Hall with the final destination of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Central Jakarta.
On his way, Anies stopped by the HI Roundabout area to see the enthusiasm of the residents during the CFD.
"Happy cycling, we send a message to all of Indonesia, let's together make our skies blue, the environment clean, healthy, and we can all pay back for our earth," said Anies, as quoted by Antara.
Anies said that bicycles cannot go backwards and must keep moving forward, and leave no residue because they are moved by limbs, namely the feet.
