Only 21 districts make gas emission calculation

Environmental Affairs Minister Balthasar Kambuaya has said only 21 districts throughout Indonesia have calculated greenhouse gas emissions.

“For districts that have not made calculation, please do so, because we want to know how much gas emission that we have reduced concretely,” the minister said here on Friday.

In line with the presidential regulation no. 61/2011 on the National Action Plan on Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction, the government has targeted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent by the year 2020.

Currently, the country has managed to cut greenhouse gas emission by 18 percent, according to the minister.
