On Thursday, July 30, 2026, President Prabowo Subianto set a one-year target for tackling Indonesia's waste problem. He made the statement while inaugurating the revitalization of Semarang Tawang Station in Central Java, calling for rivers and waterways across the country to be cleared of waste.
Prabowo also urged local governments and government agencies to take a more active role in keeping their regions clean. The message was that waste management cannot depend on the central government alone. Governors, mayors, regents, agencies, and communities all have a role to play.
The president also linked the issue to environmental protection more broadly. He called for an end to indiscriminate tree cutting and encouraged large-scale reforestation, saying that healthier and cleaner surroundings could strengthen Indonesia's tourism sector as well.
The one-year target is a major challenge because Indonesia's waste problem involves cities, waterways, public spaces, and tourist destinations with very different conditions. What matters next is how the target is turned into concrete action and whether people can actually see cleaner rivers, better waste management, and healthier public spaces across the country.See More
