Indonesia to make 26pct cut in carbon emission

At the G20′s last summit, Indonesia announced decision to lower carbon emission level voluntarily. The target of 26 percent decrease, as explained by the Deputy III for Improving Conservation of natural resources and Environmental Degradation Control Environment, Masnellyarti Hilman –was based on calculations of emission reduction from mixed energy and renewable energy including geothermal energy, transfer functions of forests (LULUCF / Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry) and peat lands use management.

Is this announcement really significant for industrial countries, annex-1 countries or it just political movement  from developing countries to heat up the next UN Climate meeting in Copenhagen?
