Eddy Soeparno: ICCF strengthens cooperation to face the impact of the climate crisis

Jakarta – The 2025 Indonesia Climate Change Forum (ICCF) series of events, which is a collaboration between the MPR RI and the Emil Salim Institute, has officially closed by making solutions and recommendations in an effort to realize food security, energy and the climate crisis. Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian MPR, Eddy Soeparno, as a collaborator with the ICCF together with the Emil Salim Institute, said that this forum is a confirmation of the urgency of food and energy security, including water areas facing the climate crisis. “We have made several resolutions, one of which is how we, one, accelerate the energy transition from fossil energy to renewable energy. Second, we will also further discuss and give recommendations on the issue of more massive use of renewable energy in the energy transition process, including pro-renewable energy policies,” stressed Eddy, at the Sultan Hotel, Jakarta, in his statement, Thursday (203/250).

Rachim and the Pandawara group who were also resource persons also explained the solution. Eddy is also grateful that Indonesia now has Presidential Regulation (Perpres) 109 of 2025 on handling urban waste by processing waste into renewable energy based on environmentally friendly technology. “Thank God, now there is Presidential Decree 109 of 2025 which provides a solution to this waste by building incinerators that will then burn the waste, and facilitate the process of dealing with waste that has currently accumulated everywhere and cannot be accommodated in final landfills (TPA),” he said. He said that this forum also discussed the carbon economy, Indonesia is currently implementing a massive energy transition process. Including carrying out reforestation and developing other technological sectors such as carbon sequestration. “So that we then reduce emissions, by reducing emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, we will also get benefits. The benefit is that there will be carbon in the economy that will live. It will then become one of the pillars of government revenue in the future,” he continued. In addition, with the existence of Presidential Decree number 110 of 2025 on the implementation of carbon economic value instruments and control of national greenhouse gas emissions, Eddy is confident that this regulation will make it easier to realize the solutions presented from this forum, especially before the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP). “We discussed a lot of things about the impact of climate change, what we need to do and what next steps can actually be implemented. This is the right moment because we are talking about climate and talking about the issue of the forum being held as we approach the implementation of the 30th COP,” he continued. Eddy also said he is proud that the government is initiating a number of strategic pieces of legislation in the energy and environment sectors. Among them, the completion of the Renewable Energy Act and the Electricity Act which are the foundation of the national energy transition. In addition, the Climate Change Management Act is included in the 2026 Priority National Legislative Program (Prolegnas), which is expected to become the main legal umbrella for efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The provisions currently regulated in Presidential Regulation Number 110 of 2025 will also be an important part of the discussion of the bill. “Hopefully, ICCF will become a space to strengthen multi-stakeholder collaboration to address the impact of the climate crisis,” Eddy concluded.
