CSF Press Release, Jakarta – 25 September 2009 Jakarta (25/9) – Climate change is an urgent global problem whose solution requires commitment from industrialised nations.

Indonesia’s Civil Society Forum for Climate Justice (CSF) is concerned about the lack of progress in previous negotiations and fears that this time too, the meeting will be limited to business negotiations between countries emitting pollution and countries buying emissions, rather than focusing on efforts to find a way of addressing the disaster of global warming. |

Meanwhile, the regional autonomy is understood as a local administrative affair, not as a socio-ecologic reality of Indonesia as an archipelagic country, as well as the largest maritime countries in the world.
