JAKARTA, Indonesia, Jan. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The COP29 UN Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan (November 11–22, 2024) is an important moment for the UK to strengthen its commitment to accelerate global transition to clean energy and achieve the zero emissions target. The UK seeks to utilize green solutions to effectively address the climate crisis.
During the forum, the UK announced its implementation of the NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution), a plan outlining each country's commitments to mitigate climate change. Aligned with its NDC, the UK committed to leading in climate solutions, aiming to cut carbon emissions by 81% by 2035, up from 68% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

During COP29, APP Group reaffirmed its global commitment as a driver of change in addressing the climate crisis through green energy transitions and sustainable practices such as; increasing the use of biomass to reduce emissions, ensuring a controlled biomass supply, and implementing sustainable forest management to enhance natural carbon absorption.
"It's crucial to assess risks and make thorough plans so decarbonization efforts can continue, even though investment is necessary to create a greener industry while persistently pursuing forest conservation and protection for carbon absorption," stated Elim Sritaba as Chief Sustainability Officer of APP Group.
