Posted by: GreenCollar on Thursday, 1 October 2009
Indonesia is eyeing big cuts in emissions by the end of the next decade, according to its president.
The Southeast Asian country is devising a mix of policies that will see greenhouse gas emissions fall 26 percent below business-as-usual levels by 2020, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is reported to have said during a working lunch at last week’s G20 summit in Pittsburgh.
Indonesia is the world’s third-biggest carbon emitter, mostly from deforestation and burning of peatland.
