Conference Background

Based on the achievement of the SDGs, various efforts and strategies of SDGs have been included in the Indonesian national development. Indonesia is home for 265 million population living in 17.504 islands with its diversity of ethnicities and dialects. However, Indonesia's long-term development is faced with environmental problems and climate change. Indonesia is one of the countries facing the issue of deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Economic growth is still largely based on the exploitation of natural resources which have consequences for the environment. In addition, the rate of population growth exceeds the productive capacity of the earth and globalization makes life in the world more complex and unmanageable. In developing and reducing poverty, Indonesia is faced with the challenge of protecting the environment and its long-term prospects. Therefore, sustainable development is needed as an effort to meet current needs without ignoring the needs of future generations.
