Last November 2023, Indonesia released its first Fatwa on climate change. Indonesia's highest Islamic authority, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), issued the Fatwa on Global Climate Control Law, which rules that any actions that damage nature and impact climate crisis are haram or forbidden. What is the significance of this newly issued Fatwa to Indonesia's climate discourse? With the largest Muslim population in this world, how would it influence the perception of the people further to understand the urgency of climate actions for our livelihood? Check out Dr. Dino Patti Djalal's analysis regarding this recently launched Fatwa on Global Climate Control Law and its significance in boosting Indonesia's climate efforts through the perspective of Islam. – #DinoPattiDjalal #Climate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #Iklim #PerubahanIklim #KrisisIklim #Fatwa #MUI #Indonesia #Islam

Tahun ini merupakan tahun transisi politik Indonesia di akhir 10 tahun masa kepemimpinan Presiden Joko Widodo. Didorong oleh dampak krisis iklim yang semakin parah, serta ambisi penanganan perubahan iklim global yang semakin kuat, Indonesia memerlukan kebijakan dan strategi yang lebih konkrit dan ambisius. Dalam satu tahun terakhir, berbagai kebijakan telah dibentuk untuk mendorong transisi energi dan pengendalian perubahan iklim di Indonesia, mulai dari diresmikannya bursa karbon pertama di Indonesia, penetapan green taxonomy, hingga integrasi pembangunan rendah karbon dalam RPJPN 2025-2045. Meskipun demikian, Indonesia masih bergulat dengan berbagai tantangan. Rencana untuk menurunkan target kebijakan EBT menjadi 17%-19% pada 2025 dari target awal 23% menuai kekhawatiran, diikuti pula dengan dampak krisis iklim yang semakin terasa di tanah air, mulai dari kekeringan berkepanjangan yang mengancam keamanan pangan dan ketersediaan air, cuaca ekstrem, serta kerugian pada hilangnya keanekaragaman hayati kita. Diskusi publik "Indonesia Climate Policy Outlook 2024" akan mengupas lebih dalam tentang arah kebijakan pengendalian perubahan iklim di tahun transisi politik Indonesia, mulai dari sektor energi, kehutanan dan tata guna lahan, pendanaan iklim, industri, dan isu-isu terkait lainnya.

This year is a year of political transition in Indonesia, marking the end of President Joko Widodo's 10-year leadership. Driven by the increasingly severe impact of the climate crisis and increasingly strong ambitions to deal with global climate change, Indonesia needs more concrete and ambitious policies and strategies. In the past year, various policies have been formed to encourage the energy transition and change in climate control in Indonesia, starting from the inauguration of the first carbon exchange in Indonesia, the establishment of a green taxonomy, to the integration of low carbon development in the 2025-2045 RPJPN. Despite this, Indonesia is still grappling with various challenges. The plan to reduce the NRE policy target to 17%-19% in 2025 from the initial target of 23% has raised concerns, followed by the impact of the climate crisis, which is increasingly being felt in the country, starting from drought, which threatens food security and air availability, extreme weather, as well as the loss of our biodiversity. The public discussion "Indonesia Climate Policy Outlook 2024" will examine further the direction of climate change control policies in Indonesia's political transition year, starting from the energy, forestry, and land use sectors, climate finance, industry, and other related issues.

Our world is increasingly being shaped by climate issues, so understanding global strategies and collaborations for a greener, net-zero future is more important than ever. Both the UK and Indonesia are making great strides towards sustainable green growth. Indonesia has secured green finances, accelerated decarbonization, and developed its Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience (LTS-LCCR) 2050. Similarly, the UK has championed green growth and pledged investments in alternative energy sources. Join FPCI and British Embassy Jakarta for a public discussion on ”A Sustainable Future for All: Rethinking Development to Tackle the Climate Crisis,“ featuring Nick Dyer, Second Permanent Under-Secretary at the FCDO of the United Kingdom, in-person or virtually. Gain insights into how the UK leads this issue and confronts economic transformation and climate change challenges, exploring policy frameworks, financing models, technological transitions, and green initiatives. – #UnitedKingdom #Indonesia #NickDyer #Climate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #Development #Sustainability
