Krisis iklim bikin duniamu gawat darurat, sudah saatnya bersuara tiap hari biar duniamu nggak kiamat!
Summary
The document highlights Indonesia's climate crisis, noting record temperatures in Larantuka and the country's position as a top ten global greenhouse gas emitter due to coal dependency. It criticizes the government's continued construction of coal-fired power plants (PLTU), the use of biomass co-firing that threatens forests and indigenous peoples, and the environmental damage caused by nickel mining for electric vehicle batteries. The guide advocates for community-based renewable energy and provides a framework for individual and collective action, including reducing transport emissions, mindful consumption, and demanding political accountability.
Key insights
- Indonesia is among the top ten global producers of greenhouse gases as of 2023, driven by a heavy reliance on coal and the degradation of forests and peatlands.
- The government is continuing to build new coal-fired power plants (PLTU) and has set a record coal production target of 710 million tons for the current year, which hinders climate crisis mitigation.
- The government's biomass co-firing initiative is described as greenwashing, as it requires forest areas 35 times the size of DKI Jakarta to supply 52 PLTUs, threatening biodiversity and indigenous communities in Mentawai, West Kalimantan, and South Papua.
- Nickel mining for the energy transition and electric vehicle batteries has caused significant environmental destruction and social conflict, specifically citing the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) and islands in eastern Indonesia like Halmahera.
- Community-based renewable energy initiatives, such as micro-hydro power plants (PLTMH) in Kasepuhan Ciptagelar (Sukabumi) and Batusanggan (Riau), are often ignored by the government in favor of large-scale projects like large hydroelectric dams (PLTA).
