COP26: Indonesia criticises 'unfair' deal to end deforestation
Indonesia has criticised the terms of a global deal to end deforestation by 2030, signalling that the country may not abide by it. Environment Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar said the authorities could not "promise what we can't do". She said forcing Indonesia to commit to zero deforestation by 2030 was "clearly inappropriate and unfair". Despite President Joko Widodo signing the forest deal, she said development remained Indonesia's top priority.
