Puan Maharani as Chairperson of Indonesian House of Representatives

JAKARTA, Balitopnews.com – The Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, said that Indonesia would be a pioneer country in creating global climate change mitigation at the 144th Inter Parliamentary Union (IPU), in Nusa Dua, Bali on  March 20 -24 , 2022.

 

The importance of mitigating world climate change is so that countries around the world can anticipate climate change that will occur, so that the international community is no longer surprised by the impacts that can occur due to climate change in the future.

 

This was stated by the Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives during the Special Event Dialogue: Indonesia Hosts the 144th IPU in Jakarta ( March 17, 2022).

 

The 144th IPU took the theme “Getting to Zero: Mobilizing Parliament to Act on Climate Change”. "Because climate change has become a very prominent issue and has become a worldwide concern other than Covid-19," Puan said.

 

The chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives hopes that as a country that is currently the organizer of the IPU, he hopes that international cooperation can be carried out together with other countries to be able to overcome or mitigate climate change that has occurred in the future. Do not let the problem of climate change then cannot be mitigated such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

"Besides climate change, there are many other agendas at the 144th IPU, one of which is the Women Parliamentarian session which will talk about gender equality and how women have a position in the international world, especially in Parliament," Puan said.

 

 

As is known, during the COVID-19 pandemic, mothers who play a role at least take care of the family, as health workers, and work in MSMEs to help support their families, said the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

According to Puan Maharani, the target for the delegation to attend is 1000 people from 178 countries, and even then it has been limited due to the covid-19 pandemic.

 

The benefits of the IPU for Indonesia where Indonesia gets the IPU Session can be a moment for Indonesia in global leadership. Indonesia is optimistic that it can carry out the 144th IPU in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. That way, the international community can see Indonesia and can show that Indonesia is ready to host this international-scale event. "If this event is successful, Indonesia can show a positive image that Indonesia can accept other international events and bring Indonesia's good name in global leadership in any field," Puan explained.

 

"Later on, the results of the IPU session can be used as a work reference for commissions and BKSAP of the Indonesian House of Representatives as well as Parliaments around the world," Puan concluded . (Rls/BTNC)
