According to Hendiarti, the meeting covered four topics: carbon pricing and markets, nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based approach, clean technology and solutions, and green and blended finance.
"We are committed to working together with Singapore to tackle climate change and achieve sustainable development and believe that this cooperation will provide many benefits for both countries," Indonesia’s Antara news agency quoted Hendiarti as saying in a statement on February 23.
Khoo agreed that the two countries should quickly develop concrete projects revolving around the four issues.
According to Hendiarti, at the end of the session, the two countries agreed on 11 activities and timelines for cooperation on the four discussed topics, which will be included in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries.
The MoU is expected to be signed in March 2022, she said./.
