Indonesia has a long and proud record in helping to solve global environmental problems. Nearly 20 years ago Bali hosted the preparatory meetings ahead of the Rio+10 World Summit on Sustainable Development – a landmark moment in the shift towards more sustainable growth.

In 2007 the government generously hosted the Conference of Parties (COP) 13 UN climate summit - a memorably tough meeting - but one that ultimately laid the foundations for the Paris climate deal in 2015.

A country as vast as Indonesia, with populations so close to the sea, and such richly endowed rainforests and biomes cannot fail to note the power and glory of the natural world.
