During a meeting with EIB President Nadia Calvino, Indrawati outlined how connected and environmentally-friendly public transportation can be a solution for Indonesia, especially its big cities.
"Connected and environmentally-friendly public transportation can be a solution to reduce carbon emissions resulting from the high volume of private vehicle use, especially in big cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya," she said in an Instagram post on Friday.
The EIB has been paying attention to the development of renewable energy, and Indonesia has committed to cutting carbon emissions and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
