JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo called for stronger global commitments to tackle climate change this week, but environmentalists are not buying it.

They complain that Indonesia’s emissions-reduction target has not budged and that national policies are still being pursued at the expense of the environment.
