JAKARTA, Nov 4 — Indonesia today questioned the terms of a deal to end deforestation by 2030 signed by over 100 countries, including the South-east Asian archipelago, which is home to the world’s third-biggest rainforest.

But two senior Indonesian politicians today threw Jakarta’s participation into question. One said the deal did not call for a total end to deforestation, and another said it could not halt President Joko Widodo’s development goals. She added that there were multiple ways to define deforestation, and that any deal could not halt economic growth.

In the declaration signed by Indonesia and over 100 countries, leaders committed “to working collectively to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030 while delivering sustainable development and promoting an inclusive rural transformation”. “It would be consistent with the pledge — what countries have committed to is to end net deforestation, ensuring that any forest lost is replaced sustainably.”
