Daftarsbmptn.com – The Secretary General of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Hasto Kristiyanto, reiterated the importance of environmental politics as the foundation for Indonesia’s future development. He delivered this message at a party event in West Java, where he urged all party members to be more serious about addressing issues of sustainability, environmental protection, and equitable green development. According to Hasto, modern politics is no longer just about power, but also about ensuring that future generations continue to have a decent environment.
Hasto believes the world is entering a phase of major change, including addressing the increasingly pressing climate crisis. Therefore, he encouraged PDI-P cadres in West Java to focus not only on electoral politics but also to play an active role in ensuring that regional development policies remain aligned with sustainability principles. He emphasized that political work must have a long-term orientation, not simply fulfilling pragmatic short-term targets.

On that occasion, Hasto also expressed his appreciation for several West Java cadres who have initiated environmental programs such as urban greening movements, plastic waste reduction campaigns, and community empowerment through organic farming. He believes these small steps can have a significant impact if implemented sustainably and involving local communities.
Hasto also emphasized that environmental politics should not stop at declarations. He asked cadres to ensure policy implementation on the ground, including conducting supervision, assisting residents, and monitoring local government programs. He stated that the success of the environmental agenda depends not only on regulations but also on collective commitment.
Concluding his statement, Hasto expressed optimism that West Java could become one of the leading provinces in implementing equitable green development. With synergy between party cadres, local governments, academics, and the community, he believes environmental issues can become a key pillar of Indonesia’s future development. He urged all parties to continue preserving nature as an important legacy for future generations, while demonstrating that politics can have a real impact in saving the future of the earth.
t is not just a global trend, but a real need. West Java, with its dense urban areas and disaster-prone mountainous regions, requires a more measured strategy to preserve the environment. According to Hasto, various challenges such as land conversion, flooding, and air pollution must be addressed with environmentally friendly policies based on scientific data.
He also emphasized that environmental policies must involve all elements of society. PDIP cadres, Hasto said, have a moral responsibility to educate citizens about the importance of preserving nature and to encourage collaboration between local governments, communities, and the private sector. This collaboration is considered a strategic step to ensure environmental protection programs run consistently and provide broad benefits.
Furthermore, Hasto touched on the need to accelerate equitable green development. He explained that this concept is not only related to planting trees or providing green spaces, but also ensuring that all levels of society experience the economic benefits of environmental policies. He cited the development of renewable energy, integrated waste management, and environmentally friendly creative industries as opportunities that can create jobs and improve the quality of life for residents.
