Indonesia
Mr. Chairman,
My Delegation associates itself with the statement made by Pakistan on behalf of
the Group of 77 and China. We would like to emphasize the following issues on
Air Pollution/Atmosphere.
The impressive of industrial growth and growing transportation sector had
affected serious air pollution. Effort to reducing air pollution and protecting the
atmosphere must be pursued in the context of the priority accorded by
developing countries to economic growth and poverty eradication. In this regard,
my delegation would like to highlight policy option and possible actions to reduce
indoor air pollution and outdoor air pollution, taking into account its relation to
transportation, energy production and consumption, and industry based on our
national policy instruments and experiences.
Mr. Chairman.
In the context of mitigating indoor air pollution from traditional biomass fuels
which adversely affect the health of women, we need to adopt international
support for national efforts to discontinue use of traditional biomass fuels and unvented
cook stoves by switching to, among others, liquid petroleum gas and
improving cook stoves which can reduce pollution and cooking time.
In the light of ambient air pollution as a consequences of polluting transport
emission, my delegation fully support the idea of choosing of mode transport
which will reduce the emission of air pollutants. The use of mass rapid transport
using cleaner and renewable source of energy need to get support in order to
reduce air pollution in big and high-density populated cities. However, in coping
with barriers in financing for the huge investment of development of MRT,
assistance from developed countries will be needed.
Indonesia supports the partnership for Clean Indoor Air as well as the partnership
for Clean and Fuels and Vehicles in its efforts to complete the global elimination
of leaded gasoline and other source of pollutants. Within this program, like many
other countries, Indonesia has succeeded in phasing out leaded gasoline since
July 2006 last year.
Lastly, Indonesia would like to propose the importance of polcy options as follow:
a) Development of a long term Vision on urban air quality;
b) Review of ambient air quality standards and Air Pollution Indexes;
c) Develop roadmaps for fuel quality and vehicle emission standards for new
vehicles;
d) Address fuel quality for stationary sources;
e) Strengthening, development, and implementation of strategies to control
emissions from in-use vehicles.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
