“Today, on behalf of President Prabowo Subianto, I express Indonesia’s commitment to participate in the Tropical Forest Forever Facility. This is a fund established by Brazil, Indonesia, and several other nations, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo,” Djojohadikusumo said during the Belém Leader Summit in Belém, Brazil, on Thursday, November 6.
Djojohadikusumo explained that the facility serves as a global investment fund aimed at preventing deforestation and restoring degraded tropical forests.
He added that Indonesia’s support for the TFFF was warmly welcomed by several world leaders, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and French President Emmanuel Macron.
“Indonesia will take part in this new initiative launched by Brazil. President Lula is very pleased, as are many other heads of state, including President Macron and other presidents and prime ministers,” he stated.
The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) represents a 125-billion-US-dollar fund to support the preservation of forests in tropical countries. Indonesia will actively participate and has pledged to match Brazil’s contribution.
“Brazil has committed 1 billion US dollars, Indonesia has committed 1 billion US dollars, and Norway has pledged 3 billion US dollars over ten years. France has already contributed 400 million euros and plans to add another 500 million euros by 2030,” Djojohadikusumo noted.
During the summit, Djojohadikusumo was accompanied by Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq and Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni.
The Belém Leader Summit serves as a preparatory meeting ahead of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30).
The summit, held on November 6–7, 2025, brought together world leaders to discuss urgent climate issues and strengthen collaborative efforts to preserve the world’s tropical forests.
