WNAM REPORT: Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening national climate action during the Belém Leader Summit in Brazil, according to President Prabowo Subianto’s Special Envoy for Climate and Energy, Hashim Djojohadikusumo.
“Indonesia comes to Belém with a clear message: a strong initiative to enhance our national climate commitments and readiness to cooperate with all countries for real, inclusive, and ambitious climate action,” Hashim said in Belém, Brazil, on Thursday.
He led the Indonesian delegation to the summit, which was held ahead of the 30th UN Conference on Climate Change (COP30).
“As Indonesia’s Special Envoy for Climate and Energy, I represent President Prabowo Subianto, who is unable to attend this distinguished conference of parties,” he said.
Hashim mentioned that Prabowo had reaffirmed Indonesia’s commitment to the Paris Agreement target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner during the UN General Assembly.
“Indonesia is also committed to achieving a higher, sustainable growth target of 8 percent,” Hashim said.
“Our green growth strategy is reflected in the Second Nationally Determined Contribution (SNDC), which sets a CO2 equivalent emissions cap of 1.2 gigatonnes (GT) in the low scenario and 1.5 GT in the high scenario by 2035,” he added.
At the Belém summit, Hashim also highlighted Indonesia’s plan to raise the renewable energy share to 23 percent of the national energy mix by 2030.
“This includes the development of other technologies such as nuclear power as part of our clean energy transition,” he said.
Other members of the Indonesian delegation included Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq and Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni.
The Belém Leader Summit, held on November 6–7, served as a preparatory meeting for COP30, gathering world leaders to discuss global climate action.
