Indonesia calls for more G20 action on climate change

JAKARTA, 01 September 2022, (TON): Group of 20 chair Indonesia warned environment officials from the world’s leading economies Wednesday they must act together to combat a warming planet or risk plunging it into uncharted territory.

The call came at a one-day meeting on the resort island of Bali, at the end of a month in which more than 1,000 people died in Pakistan from flooding blamed on climate change and a crippling drought exacerbated by a record heat wave spread across half of China.

In opening remarks, Indonesian Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya Bakar told delegates global environmental problems require global solutions, otherwise the planet could end up in a situation where no future will be sustainable.

She said “we cannot hide from the fact that the world is facing increasingly compounding challenges.”
