INDUSTRY.co.id – Jakarta – Elected President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) delivered his winning speech on Sunday, July 14th, in which he described some of his ideas and policy plans for the next five years titled “Indonesian Vision.” Jokowi highlighted a lot on the urgency to adapt to global development, to change our mindset, and to open to investment as wide as possible. Unfortunately, his speech didn’t acknowledge environmental crisis, climate change, and energy transition which steal global attention nowadays.
Hindun Mulaikan, Bersihkan Indonesia Spokesperson from Indonesian Greenpeace expressed that Vision for a Flourishing, Justice, and Prosperous Indonesia is only possible with a sustainable environment. Jokowi cannot be unhistorical, since our constitution clearly mandates environmentally economic developments.
Therefore, Hindun added, it’s weird if Indonesian Vision described by Jokowi didn’t consider environmental protection. According to her, threats from climate crisis and fossil fuel dependence such as coal are apparent and will affect Indonesian sustainability in the future.
