In September 2022, Indonesia and Norway renewed their partnership to bolster Indonesia’s efforts in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. This collaboration includes protecting and managing forests, engaging indigenous communities, and strengthening carbon absorption through sustainable forest management, rehabilitation, and social forestry programs.

Other key activities involve conserving biodiversity, mitigating emissions from peatland fires, and enhancing law enforcement against environmental violations. These steps signify a comprehensive approach to achieving Indonesia’s climate goals while maintaining ecological integrity.

Ambassador Giverin expressed Norway’s pride in its enduring partnership with Indonesia, commending the country’s leadership in addressing global climate challenges. “Indonesia and Norway are setting an example for how Western nations and tropical forest-rich countries can work together to tackle climate challenges,” she stated.

This partnership reflects a global model of cooperation, demonstrating that joint efforts can lead to tangible outcomes in mitigating climate change. Both nations continue to inspire other countries with their commitment to environment sustainability and climate action. (Uki Ruknuddin)
