Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A legislator has called on the government to seriously develop new and renewable energy amid the declining air quality in big cities as a result of pollution.
"We are facing global warming, which is posing a serious threat," Satya Widya Yudha, deputy chairman of Commission VII of the House of Representatives (DPR), noted in a press release here on Monday.
Yudha had earlier highlighted the matter at the World Bank Civil Society Forum held in Washington DC, the US, recently.
"As an island country, Indonesia is prone to global warming and climate change crisis. This should not be ignored," the legislator emphasized.
