Indonesia may team up with the Pacific Islands to put pressure on other countries to agree on a universal, legally binding climate agreement at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP) in Paris in December 2015, with more emphasis on adaptation to existing climate changes, reports the Jakarta Post.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi had just come back on Thursday from her visit to Fiji, where she attended the Pacific Island Development Forum (PIDF) and discussed how to build resilience to climate change. "Given our similarity in the context of climate change, we always support steps taken by Pacific countries,” the ministry’s spokesperson, Armanatha Nasir, said on Friday. In the latest draft of the National Determined Contribution (INDC), Indonesia envisions the archipelago achieving resilience against climate change as a result of comprehensive adaptation and mitigation programs and disaster risk reduction strategies for 2020 and beyond.
