Dream - Presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan joked when asked to give an assessment of the ministry's performance. Anies mentioned that assessments are currently a sensitive word because they can provoke many parties to give "lectures". This joke was delivered at the 'Desak Anies Women's Edition' event held at Half Patiunus, Jakarta, on Thursday, January 18, 2024.

Initially, Anies explained that Indonesia has a commitment to achieve zero emissions by 2060. According to Anies, this commitment must be translated into policies. "We have a commitment for net zero emissions in 2060. This must be translated into policies by ministries, provinces, districts, and the private sector," said Anies.

"Then the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 32 percent by 2030, we are still far from it. Even based on our records, the distance is somewhat concerning," said Anies. The former Governor of DKI Jakarta emphasized the importance of Indonesia having regulations that can reach all layers and sectors."

"According to us, there must be comprehensive regulations, what the central government, provincial government, regional government, and private sector are doing," he added. Anies encourages acceleration in the use of new and renewable energy. Because Indonesia has set targets for the upcoming year 2025."

"The target, if I'm not mistaken, is 23 percent by 2025, but we are currently only at 13 percent. Achieving an additional 10 percent in 2 years is mission impossible," explained Anies. "In one year, it will be 2024. This is because many leaders have signed but we haven't arranged the execution. This needs to be done every year," he added."

"Speaking of delays, it's late. Approximately when Mas Anies evaluates, how much value does Mas Anies give to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, sir?" asked the presenter. "Giving sensitive value. Some have finished speaking and then mention numbers," said Anies, greeted by laughter from the audience."
