Indonesia Confirms $20 Billion Climate Deal Despite US Exit
The Indonesian government confirmed a $20 billion commitment from rich nations to help it shut polluting coal plants and transition to cleaner energy sources remains in place, despite the US exit from the agreement.
Although the US had pledged to contribute billions of dollars according to investment plans drafted for the Just Energy Transition Partnerships, which included deals for Vietnam and South Africa, it withdrew amid the Trump administration’s wider retreat from climate action. Analysts said this month the US exit could add further delays, but they expected the deals to survive.
