        "content": "<p>Jambi (ANTARA) \u2013 Rocky Candra, a member of Commission XII of the\nHouse of Representatives (DPR), said the Climate Change Bill is\nprogressing and has entered discussions with various stakeholders\nfocused on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis climate change law will address how the government and\nIndonesian society should respond. We are discussing and drafting it,\nand holding discussions with various NGOs and organisations concerned\nwith the issue,\u201d he said in Jambi on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Rocky said the bill was conceived to set the country\u2019s direction and\nposition on responding to the climate crisis nationally, against a\nbackdrop of weather anomalies in several regions.<\/p>\n<p>He cited forest fires in Jambi, South Sumatra and Riau, while West\nSumatra has been affected by flooding.<\/p>\n<p>Rocky added that in Jambi he continues to encourage the Climate\nVillage Programme (Proklim), run by the Ministry of Environment and the\nEnvironmental Control Agency (KLH\/BPLH). The initiative is one practical\nway to support environmental protection.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently 30 climate village programmes in Jambi, which are\nbeing encouraged to adopt more environmentally friendly practices,\nimprove waste management and take an active role in improving\nenvironmental governance.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside household waste management, stakeholders are also focusing\non public awareness of peatland management and the preservation of\nmangroves and forest areas more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also raising awareness about proper peatland and mangrove\nmanagement. We will promote this because Jambi Province has extensive\npeatlands, and mangroves must also be protected. Our forests are just as\nimportant and must be safeguarded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Regional Representative Council (DPD) chair Sultan Bachtiar\nNajamudin said that, in addition to the climate change bill, the council\nwas focusing on several strategic issues related to the work of\nKLH\/BPLH.<\/p>\n<p>These include national waste management, the development of new and\nrenewable energy, control of forest and land fires, and stronger climate\nchange mitigation and adaptation.<\/p>",
