ndonesia has pushed back its peak emissions target by five years to 2035, prompting officials to raise doubts over the country’s ability to reach net zero by 2060.
Peak emissions refers to the time when greenhouse gas output hits its highest level before starting to decline.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry’s renewable energy director general, Eniya Listiani Dewi, said the government had made efforts to prevent the setback.
“While we all agreed to achieve net zero emissions by 2060, we have to report with a heavy heart that our peak emissions target has shifted to 2035,” Eniya said on Monday, as quoted by Kumparan.
The change, she added, would make it more difficult for the country to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.
The updated target would be reflected in Indonesia’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), which is to be presented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 30) in Belém, Brazil, next month.
