The government is revising a regulation on the National Council on Climate Change (DNPI) to strengthen its role to improve Indonesia’s position at climate change talks.
The proposed revision would give the council a permanent secretariat to manage a budget and support the daily tasks of the council and its working groups, deputy to the Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Indroyono Soesilo said.
“We want to make the DNPI’s secretariat more effective in order to secure and manage a budget,” he told The Jakarta Post on Friday.
The DNPI was set up in 2008 under a presidential regulation with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as chairman and the coordinating minister as deputy.
Former Environment Minister Rachmat Witoelar was initially appointed DNPI’s executive director, and 17 cabinet ministers were made council members.
