"Now, we have to look at Indonesia, where we are pushing to modernize decarbonization efforts in the world," he continued.
Anindya Bakrie explained, there are at least three things that need to be considered from the efforts that Indonesia has made, in overcoming the problem of climate change.
The first is to maintain and assess Indonesia's biodiversity which has the third largest forest in the world.
"We actually have a lot of rainforests and peatlands, which can absorb more CO2 than forests. In addition, we also have coral reefs and seaweed," Bakrie remarked.
Second, Bakrie emphasized Indonesia's efforts in electrifying combustion engines. This is because Indonesia has important underground mineral resources that can be processed such as nickel, copper, tin, and zinc.

"Third, we hope that of course by using renewable energy, we can also contribute (in overcoming climate change problems),"
