Jakarta (Antara Bali) - A lawmaker said Indonesia should play a greater
role in the 21st Conference of Parties(COP) of the United Nation
Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) aimed at saving the earth and
mankind.
Greenhouse gases will degrade the ecology quality, the economy
even the existence of the state, Andi Akmal Pasluddin of the Commission
IV of the Parliament said here.
Therefore, Indonesia should take more active role in the
conference to take place in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, Akmal from
the Islamic faction of Justice and Prosperous Party, which is member of
the opposition coalition.
Currently the air temperature is rising in many parts of the world
including Indonesia, causing a climate change that endangers life, he
said.
Greenhouse gases including H2O, CO2 (carbon dioxide),CH4
(Methane), N2O (Nitrous Oxide), O3 (ozon), CFC (Chloro Fluoro Carbon)
have significantly increase the temperature.
"The COP 21 has to end with an international agreement to cope with the problem," he said.
Each country including Indonesia should have a commitment
submitting INDC (Intended Nationally Determined Contribution) to reduce
emission of greenhouse gasses, he said.
Earlier, Minister for the Environment, and Forestry Siti Nurbaya
said Indonesia would send a delegation to the COP 21 in Paris despite
the recent terror attacks that left at least 129 people killed in the
French capital.
"We are still firm in our decision to take part in the COP 21," the minister said.
A number of countries have warned their citizen against danger of visiting France after the terror attacks. (WDY)
