Ecobiz.asia — Indonesia reaffirmed its strong commitment to global climate action ahead of the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the UNFCCC, set to take place in Belem, Brazil, this November.
At the Pre-COP30 Ministerial Meeting held from October 13–16, 2025, Indonesia’s delegation, led by Ary Sudijanto, Deputy for Climate Change Control and Carbon Economic Value Governance at the Ministry of Environment/Environmental Control Agency (KLH/BPLH), outlined the country’s strategic steps toward emission targets aligned with the 1.5°C global warming limit.
During the session, Indonesia expressed support for Brazil’s COP30 Presidency initiative promoting the “Global Mutirão” spirit, a call for collective action and community participation to achieve sustainable development goals.
“Indonesia’s tradition of gotong royong aligns with the essence of Global Mutirão. Collective solidarity is crucial for inclusive climate action,” Ary said in a statement on Sunday (Oct 19, 2025).
In support of COP30’s success, Indonesia emphasized the importance of enhanced ambition and international collaboration in achieving emission reductions, while also highlighting the need for diversified climate finance, including through the IDX Carbon trading platform and potential Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA) for cross-border carbon credits.
Indonesia also acknowledged significant progress made in finalizing the Paris Agreement Rulebook during COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, in 2024, but stressed that gaps in implementation must be urgently addressed to meet global climate goals.
On the sidelines of the Pre-COP meeting, the Indonesian delegation held bilateral talks with senior UN officials, including UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell. The UN commended Indonesia’s consistency and ambition in global emission reduction efforts.
“Indonesia is among the countries with the most ambitious emission reduction targets. Its updated NDC submission will play a crucial role in the global synthesis toward keeping the 1.5°C goal within reach,” Simon Stiell said. ***
