Indonesia Delegates
The IPCC compilation consists various scientific issues, especially related to the interests of scientific based for UNFCCC negotiation process. Therefore, Indonesia needs to improve the contribution of the IPCC assessment reports through capacity building and scientific research.
The Bali 31st meeting of IPCC is expected to increase the participation of Indonesian scientists in terms of climate change science. As a member of the WMO and UNEP, the direction of
Indonesia’s research and climate change can be synergistic and aligned with the direction of international development.
Realizing as a tropical country and a maritime continent, Indonesia will lift the issues of the Emission and Absorption of CO2 through forestry as the lungs of the world with a large
absorption capacity and maritime by the functions Indonesia Ocean Current as a part of climate change ventilation of the world’s climate and help the absorption of CO2 in the ocean.
In climate change context, the real result of any methods and assumptions that can be seen from real CO2 emmision observation result. Hence, the emmision issue that is lifted up must refer to the measurement result of GAW Kototabang Station (direct field measurements) which shows that the average of CO2 in Indonesia is still lower than Mauna Loa Hawaii (USA) and the global average of CO2 measured all over the world.
