In late July 2026 2026, Indonesia’s Environment Minister Mohammad Jumhur Hidayat met with Yogyakarta Governor Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, who urged the government to nurture the natural environment and warned against careless policies. The minister said the discussion reinforced his resolve to strengthen environmental protection and raise public awareness. A week later, the minister hosted a delegation of six international investment firms in Jakarta, praising President Prabowo Subianto’s administration as the “greenest presidency.” He highlighted the National Ecological Restoration Movement and the newly launched mandatory biodiesel B50 program, linking these initiatives to broader goals of deforestation reduction, mining governance, ESG standards, and carbon‑market stability. The investors indicated that future funding would hinge on Indonesia’s ability to sustain these green policies, marking a shift from domestic political encouragement to seeking international financial support for the country’s environmental agenda. By mid-August 2026, Minister Hidayat expanded the focus of these green policies to include waste management. During a visit to a waste processing facility operated by PT Prasadha Pamunah Limbah Industri (PPLI), he emphasized the need for a stronger ecosystem to manage medical and hazardous waste. He identified traceability, waste mass balance, and consistent law enforcement as three essential pillars to prevent pollution and management abuses. Hidayat specifically noted the risks in the supply chain of used medical materials, stressing that they must undergo proper decontamination and sterilization to prevent reckless trading and environmental hazards.
