Indonesia’s Deputy Minister of Finance, Suahasil Nazara, has said that the green economy will be one of the focuses of government’s policy in the coming years.
"Awareness regarding sustainability will strengthen and become increasingly important in various areas of life," he noted while delivering a public lecture at Lambung Mangkurat University on September 29.
Nazara said that the government's future policy direction will be focused on creating an economic ecosystem that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. This has been included in one of the strategies for delivering the vision of 2045 Golden Indonesia.
He expressed appreciation for the actions taken by the principle of Lambung Mangkurat University, who has asked for 600 hectares of mangrove forests to be used as a research site as well as for environmental preservation measures.
