6.8 Development of Urban Green Spaces and Eco Riparian Urban communities also play a role in helping out the implementation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Their activities are expected to support climate change mitigation; some of them are the development of urban green spaces and eco riparian. Riparian is a transitional area between land and a river that shows characteristics between these two ecosystems. Meanwhile eco riparian is a program of river revitalization in order to reduce pollution loads, especially from domestic waste and garbage. Eco riparian zones can be used as green spaces or a community based- environmental educational tourism area without changing critical functions of the ecosystem. Within eco riparian zones, there may be a domestic wastewater management installation and an organic waste processing site which will have an impact on carbon emissions reduction in the waste sector. The area may also serve as a place to develop nurseries, reforestation, organic farming, or other activities that will have an impact on carbon sequestration and storage. There have been nine eco riparian zones built by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry since 2017, and they serve as demonstration models that are possible to be replicated in other regions. One of them is eco riparian Perumahan Bintang Alam, Karawang Regency, West Java. The area offers productive plant cultivation activities including medicinal plants such as ginger, kaempferia galangal, and turmeric. This area is connected to a 3R waste management facility. To increase its vegetation coverage, replanting is carried out along the Citarum River. Another project is eco riparian Taman Sekartaji Jebres, Surakarta City, Central Java. This 1,200 m² area has a 150 m² waste water treatment plant with a capacity of 80 m³ to treat domestic wastewater from 1,000 households. Minister Siti Nurbaya inaugurates Tjimanoek Lama Biodiversity Park and Eco-riparian located on Cimanuk Riverbank which is established under Public-Private Partnership scheme. The Park is established for educational purpose and good example in addressing climate change issues and environmental pollution in Indonesia. (Indramayu, West Java, 13 December 2021) 120 121
