UK-Indonesia collaboration on environmental sustainability

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate examines UK-Indonesia bilateral collaboration on environmental sustainability. Kerry McCarthy, Labour MP for Bristol East, is raising the partnership to highlight shared climate and conservation priorities between the two countries, likely covering areas such as deforestation, renewable energy, biodiversity protection, and the economic opportunities within green sectors. The debate will explore how closer environmental cooperation can support both nations' net-zero commitments and create sustainable employment.

The UK and Indonesia are major players in global climate action; Indonesia holds vast rainforest carbon stocks and sits on critical biodiversity zones, while the UK hosts the financial and policy architecture driving net-zero transition. Stronger bilateral ties on environmental sustainability can strengthen UK influence in Asian climate negotiations, support British companies in green technology and conservation exports, and demonstrate Labour's commitment to climate diplomacy as a core foreign policy lever.
