Impact Intensifies, Climate Change Bill Must Be Passed in 2026

Amid the growing impacts of climate change on the environment and the economy, the Indonesian government is urging the passage of the Climate Change Management Bill by 2026. This bill is seen as a crucial component in the country’s policy to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects. In recent years, Indonesia has experienced more frequent natural disasters such as floods and droughts, adversely affecting agriculture and the overall well-being of citizens. The proposed legislation is expected to provide a comprehensive legal and management framework to help the nation adapt to these changing climate conditions. Specifically, the government plans to intensify efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adopt more sustainable agricultural practices. The bill also aims to support local communities during the transition and create new jobs in the green economy.
