Click here Indonesia's unclear commitments to save the planetThe recent global meeting involving almost 200 countries to discuss attempts to deal with the climate crisis, or known in short as COP26, in Glasgow is about to end. Indonesia is one of the meeting attendees but despite its participation, many have doubted the country's commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Not long after the meeting clinched a major deal to end deforestation by 2030, Indonesia's Environment Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar posted a tweet saying that the country would not allow deforestation deals to hinder its development plans. In addition to that, there has been no clear commitments and targets for Indonesia, one of the world's largest greenhouse gasses emitter, to follow up COP26 agreements. The Conversation Indonesia has published two stories as part of the global network's coverage of COP26 by experts around the world.
