achievements of the UNFCCC is the Kyoto Protocol, wherein the Protocol contains
two important things, namely the commitment of developed countries to reduce
the rate of emissions compared to 1990, and the possibility of carbon trading
mechanisms. Indonesia is one of the countries that have ratified both the
