"We hope we can learn a lesson from Czech's Payment for Environmental Services (PES) system and take it as a reference model in handling environmental issues," Indonesia's Minister of Environment Balthasar Kambuaya said this week.
The fund which was established by Czech had the task of managing subsidy, loan and environment recovery funds.
The funds are collected from payment for environment services and levies on air and water contamination. This model is very useful in managing the environment which is facing increasingly complex problems.
"The experience of the Czech government in establishing an environmental fund inspires us in managing emergency environment issues such as oil spills, hazardous wastes and soft loan on environment investment," added Balthasar. (*/DWA)
