NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) — Environment officials from the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations have met on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali for talks on climate action and the global impact of the war in Ukraine, with Indonesia’s environment minister saying the world is already facing a climate crisis. They discussed the implementation of each G-20 nation’s contribution to fighting climate change and synchronizing targets among developing and developed countries. Indonesian environment minister Siti Nurbaya says they produced a joint agreement with three priority issues — a sustainable economic recovery, land-based and ocean-based climate action, and resource mobilization to accelerate environmental protection — to help realize the Paris agreement on climate change.
