Enviro News Asia, Jakarta — Indonesian Deputy Minister of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), Diaz Hendropriyono, led the Socialization Meeting on the Outcomes of the 62nd Subsidiary Bodies (SB) Negotiation of the Climate Change Conference together with relevant ministries and institutions.
This meeting marked an initial step in formulating Indonesia’s position for the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP 30) to the UNFCCC, which will take place in Belém, Brazil, this coming November.
The SB 62 meeting, held in Bonn, Germany, from June 16 to 26, 2025, consisted of two main branches: the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI).
These two technical bodies serve as the backbone of policy discussions and negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
“The Ministry of Environment and Forestry, as the National Focal Point, invites all of you to support us in formulating Indonesia’s negotiation position for COP 30 this November in Belém, Brazil. Your input is crucial in advancing both Indonesia’s and the global interest in tackling climate change,” said Diaz Hendropriyono in his official statement on Monday (July 14, 2025).
Deputy Minister Diaz emphasized that one of Indonesia’s main priorities is urging the realization of climate finance commitments from developed countries, as previously pledged.
“To date, the USD 100 billion per year climate finance pledge, which should have been fulfilled since 2020, remains far from reality. The latest UNFCCC data shows that by 2022, only USD 67 billion had been mobilized. For Indonesia, this is not just about numbers—it reflects the significant disparity in global commitment toward climate justice,” he stated.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Finance, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), and other ministries and institutions that will be part of the Indonesian delegation at COP 30.
Indonesia actively participated in 12 main agenda items at SB 62, covering 19 working groups. These agendas included global stocktake, loss and damage, food security and agriculture, oceans, gender and climate change, as well as long-term climate finance.
In the forum, Deputy Minister Diaz also asserted that Indonesia’s efforts at COP 30 are not limited to demanding fair climate financing, but also demonstrating leadership in steering global transformation toward a low-emission and climate-resilient future.
Indonesia is currently drafting its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) as a national strategy to address climate disaster risks. In addition, Indonesia continues to promote the strengthening of the implementation of loss and damage mechanisms and international carbon schemes such as Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement.
“Although Article 6.4 includes the ‘share of proceeds’ clause, which provides for benefit-sharing from carbon trading schemes with developing countries, Indonesia remains committed to pushing for increased financial contributions from developed nations,” emphasized Deputy Minister Diaz.
Diaz Hendropriyono called on all ministries and institutions to unite and actively strengthen Indonesia’s position on the international stage, not merely representing their respective agencies, but speaking as the official voice of the nation.
The meeting concluded with presentations from each working group attending SB 62, including technical recommendations and follow-up directions in preparation for COP 30.
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry, as the National Focal Point to the UNFCCC, will continue to coordinate the entire negotiation process to ensure Indonesia holds a strong, strategic, and influential position in the global climate forum. (*)
