Indonesia brought five main strategies to COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, through the Indonesia Pavilion, which opened on Monday (9/11). Environment Minister Muhammad Jumhur Hidayat placed the clean energy transition and green industrialization at the top of the agenda, followed by nature-based solutions, climate-resilient and zero-waste cities, climate finance and carbon markets, and inclusive climate justice. Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Special Envoy of the President for Climate and Energy, also stressed three of Indonesia's climate diplomacy priorities: resilience to climate change, international cooperation, and the path toward net zero emissions. The government said the agenda is aimed at driving industrial decarbonization, developing solar power and transmission, protecting forests and blue carbon, and attracting investment and technology transfer.
