After Joko “Jokowi” Widodo became President on Oct. 20, 2014, he swiftly consolidated Indonesia’s climate agenda with a series of assertive acts.
Jokowi created the Environment and Forestry Ministry, which has a climate change director general. He maintained a special envoy on climate change. He announced at the Paris climate summit on Nov. 30, 2015 Indonesia’s plan to reduce carbon emissions by 29 percent by 2030 and 41 percent with international cooperation. In January 2016 he established the Peat Restoration Agency (BRG) to revive 2.4 million hectares of Indonesia’s damaged peatland.
Now in his second term, Jokowi’s climate drive seems to have slackened. The first sign of this is that he dissolved the office of the President’s special envoy on climate change.
