Indonesia is set to enter the international carbon market with an offering of 13.4 billion tons of carbon credits, according to its forestry minister. This comes in the wake of the nation's recent re-entry into global carbon emissions trading.

Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni revealed that among the key proposals is a significant reforestation initiative, targeting 12 million hectares of degraded land. This ambitious project underscores Indonesia's commitment to environmental sustainability and the reduction of carbon footprints.
