KERJASAMA NORWEGIA DAN INDONESIA MENGURANGI EMISI GAS

Abstract

Climate Change has been a phenomenon which has occurred for more than 100 years ago. And yet, governments from all over the world ignored its threat to humanity. In 1992, UNFCCC established as an institution which conduct councils from every nation in the world to discuss about climate change and find a way to eliminate the negative effects of it. Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is an initiation to answer those challenges. The main idea is simple: Developing countries which have enormous forest areas should protect and conserve their forests, reduce their damages, and rich countries give those developing countries some help by funding or helping them establish necessary things to conserve developing countries’ forests. So do Norway and Indonesia. Both nations agree that forest is a fundamental issue to reduce the green gas emission. Indonesian president gave a phenomenal statement in 15th COP (Conference of Parties) which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The statement said that Indonesia is able to reduce its emission from deforestation up to 26% if Indonesia does it alone and is able to reduce it until 41% if there are foreign supports on Indonesian REDD+program. Norway is interested in this statement and pledged to help Indonesia REDD+ program by funding it for USD 1 Billion.
