Speaking at the “Nature-Based Solutions High-Level Implementation Roundtable,” Hanif said the GST is essential to measure collective progress and identify how countries can compensate for their emissions.
“Indonesia urges all nations to finalize the Global Stocktake as a benchmark for our greenhouse gas emissions and how we offset them,” Hanif said.
He noted that nearly a decade after the 2015 Paris Agreement, a significant gap remains between collective ambitions and actual reductions in emissions.
“Almost 10 years after the Paris Agreement, the gap between our collective ambition and real progress is still very large. This gap must now become a target for joint action. Transparency in the Global Stocktake results is crucial so that all countries and stakeholders understand our position and what needs to be done,” he said.

Hanif emphasized the role of renewable energy in closing this emissions gap.
“Scaling up renewable energy implementation could be one of the strongest solutions to bridge the emissions gap. The world needs to assess each country’s full renewable energy potential, along with the technology and financing required to realize it,” he said.
He also stressed the importance of affordable renewable energy technologies for developing countries.
“Transforming energy from fossil fuels to renewable energy has been costly. This remains a major obstacle for all of us in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement,” Hanif said.
Indonesia’s appeal highlights the urgency for coordinated global efforts to implement renewable energy solutions, enhance transparency, and ensure that developing nations can access the technology and funding needed to meet international climate targets.
