• Haze problems, particularly in Indonesia cannot be separated
with discussions about CO2 Emission, Peatland, Deforestation,

plantation on forbidden and protected areas.

brought about $16 billion loss. This amount is twice as large as
the loss and damage caused by the 2004 tsunami in Aceh,
300,000.00 equivalent to 1.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
• Since 1970 until now, Indonesia is a country with the highest
200,000.00 number of CO2 emission. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore’s
CO2 emission simultaneously increased. Based in figure 1, the
first above-average number of CO2 emission was in 1985 in the
100,000.00
amount of 121,245.69 kt and the first highest peak was in 1997
in the amount of 278,659.00 kt. Briefly after the Asia economic

WALHI PERSPECTIVES 1. The government is still focusing on the process of "extinguishing fire" not
on disaster mitigation whereas 1.8 million Ha of oil palm land in Riau
province is in the forest area.
2. Conduct audit and revision of all agreements on peatland

There was a political game that could not be politically capitalized by President.
President should accept the citizen lawsuit that was proposed by WALHI
because that was the key solution for Indonesia haze-free agenda and haze-
POLITICAL-LAW related disaster management. All this time, Indonesia always confronted by no
legal protection. The citizen lawsuit that could and would be the legal
protection itself, on the contrary was rejected by President. There was a
CONFRONTATION political game that was lost by the President of Indonesia. If President Joko
Widodo accept the lawsuit, this would be profitable for Indonesia sustainable
development governance and also for the president political achievements. The
political situation which is complicated nowadays made the government23choose
to reject the lawsuit.
