InfoSAWIT, HIROSHIMA – President Joko Widodo encouraged many countries to contribute based on the capacity to face climate change threats. He told it in his speech at Sesi Kerja Mitra G7 that discussed climate, energy, and environment issues at Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima, Japan, Saturday (20/5/2023).

“It needs to left the old - fashion approach, burden shifting, propaganda. Our earth needs real actions, not talk the talk that has no concrete action,” President Joko Widodo said as in the official statement to InfoSAWIT.

He thought, Indonesia has decreased emission up to 31,89 percent with its own ability and 43,2 percent with the supports from many countries. “A commitment that other partners should follow up to empower,” President Joko Widodo told.

He also emphasized that the climate fund support for many developing countries should be constructive and far from discriminative policy on behalf of environment. The fund supports such as debts, he thought, would only a burden.

“I have to honestly deliver this that the developing countries are doubtful of fund commitment from advanced countries which the numbers, US$ 100 billion per year is not fully delivered yet,” he said.

President also encouraged many countries to escalate concrete action to face climate change threats just like Indonesia has been doing.

“Indonesia did many things, such as, deforestation significantly decreased and the lowest one in the past 20 years, rehabilitating 600.000 hectares of mangrove forests that would be accomplished in 2024, rehabilitating 3 million hectares crisis areas, the numbers of fire in forests decreased 88 percent, developing 30.000 hectares of green industrial zone, and encouraging to develop EV ecosystem,” President Joko Widodo told.
