At the COP 21 UNFCCC attended by nearly 200 heads

particularly in promoting the principle of common but
differentiated responsibilities.
(Paris, France, 30 November 2015)
2.1 The Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement is a historical milestone
of the start of a new paradigm in addressing
climate change issues that have been an object of
international concern for the last 20 to 30 years,
after the Earth Summit in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil agreed upon the UNFCCC (United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change) and
Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change in 1997.
In 2015, when COP to the UNFCCC was held
in Paris, France, a monumental global agreement
was reached, the Paris Agreement, which was
purposed to keeping a global temperature rise
of this century well below 2 degrees Celsius
above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts
to limit the temperature increase even further
to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In Indonesia's national
statement, President Joko Widodo stated that
the Paris Agreement must reflect on equality, be
fair and take into account national priorities and
capabilities, so it must be legally-binding, durable,
ambitious, but shall not halt the development of
the developing countries.
Then, on 22 April 2016, during the High-Level
Signature Ceremony for the Paris Agreement
in UN Headquarters, New York, United States
of America, there were 175 countries, including
Indonesia, signing the Paris Agreement.
Realising the role of the environment in
promoting better life for citizens, in accordance
with the principles of the 1945 Constitution,
Indonesia ratified the Paris Agreement. The
Parliament also gave its support on 19 October
2016 by agreeing to endorse the draft Bill on the
Paris Agreement. The Law (UU) No. 16 of 2016
on Ratification of the Paris Agreement to the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change was later issued on 24 October 2016.
The Agreement entered into force on 4
November 2016, 30 days after the date on which
at least 55 Parties to the Convention accounting in
total for at least an estimated 55 percent of the total
global greenhouse gas emissions have deposited
their instruments of ratification, acceptance,
approval or accession with the Depositary and
their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
Based on the Agreement, each country
must contribute to the efforts to reduce global
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, wherein their
own target must be set forth in the NDC for the
period 2020-2030.
In the Enhanced NDC, measures to reduce
emissions in Indonesia are focused on five sectors:
energy, industry, forestry, agriculture and waste,
by which the forestry sector takes the largest
contribution. The sector accounts for 17.4 percent
of the 31.89 percent unconditional target and 25.4
percent of the 43.20 percent conditional target.
