TheIKNPost.com – Currently the issue of climate change is the focus of world attention. Through the Paris Agreement established at COP-21 in Paris, the world is committed to holding global temperature rise by 2oC and making further efforts to limit it to 1.5oC above the pre-industrial era.
As Indonesia’s commitment to overcoming the threat of climate change caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Indonesia has ratified the Paris Agreement through Law no. 16 of 2016 and outlined climate resilience actions in the Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (ENDC) document. In it, Indonesia targets reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89% with its own efforts, up to 43.20% with international assistance by 2030. Indonesia’s climate commitment was also strengthened at COP-26 in Glasgow by setting a target of achieving Net-Zero Emissions. in 2060 or sooner.
Supporting this achievement, Srikandi Energi Indonesia held the Srikandi Energi outlook 2024 activity with the theme “energy independence and equal access towards Net zero emissions 2060” in Jakarta.
