Indonesia's climate advocacy within BRICS

Overview

At the 12th BRICS Environment Ministers Meeting in New Delhi, Indonesian Minister of Environment Moh Jumhur Hidayat called for collective responsibility in addressing pollution and climate change. He criticized developed economies for retreating from environmental responsibilities and emphasized Indonesia’s vulnerability to rising sea levels, noting that 60 percent of its population lives in coastal areas. The Minister advocated for integrating local wisdom into global governance and protecting biodiversity to support climate resilience.

Following these remarks, academic and expert discussions have suggested that Indonesia could leverage its experience as a mediator to act as a bridge builder within BRICS, specifically regarding climate change issues. There are calls for Indonesia to propose formal structures for the forum, such as a central secretariat, to increase its effectiveness in addressing environmental concerns.
