T
he United Kingdom and Indonesia are committed to expedite the transition toward a fair low-carbon economy and climate resilience. Both countries also agreed to cooperate in strengthening mitigation and adaptation of climate change, transparent carbon governance and the integration of low-carbon development at all levels of the government.
The cooperation initiative was covered by a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the UK Secretary of State for Energy and Net Zero Ed Miliband and Indonesian Environment Minister and Environment Management Agency (BPLH) head Hanif Faisol Nurofiq on Friday on the sidelines of the United Nations Conference of Parties (COP) in Belem, Brazil, taking place from Thursday until Nov. 21.
After the signing, Hanif said the partnership was not only a country-to-country cooperation initiative but a joint declaration for the future of Earth. Indonesia is ready to become the world's strategic partner to push for clear solutions on climate change.
“The signing is an important milestone in strengthening Indonesian green diplomacy on the global stage,” he said.
He added that the MoU strengthened Indonesia’s position as a center of collaboration for global climate action. Nature-based solutions and technology must walk together to significantly reduce emissions.
“This partnership is not mere symbolical but will be soon implemented through exchanges of knowledge, joint project and technical trainings that are cross-institutions and cross-regions,” he said.
Meanwhile, Miliband said that the UK was proud to partner with Indonesia, a country which claims to have a strong commitment on low-carbon development and tropical forest protection.
