Prior to the opening of COP26, Scott Morrison declared Australia’s climate policy is to aim for net zero emissions by 2050. There was debate whether the target is appropriate. The Indonesian government’s target is net zero emissions by 2060. Could it be more ambitious?

ClimateWorks Australia is an organisation that aims to hasten the move to net zero emissions. Guntur Sutiyono is the leader of ClimateWorks’ team in Indonesia. He explains to Sri Dean his response to the initial outcomes of COP 26 and what they mean for Indonesia, in particular for deforestation.
