Success Story Green Economy in Developing Countries

World currently inhabited by around 6.8 billion population. Energy issues, food, and water is a problem that the most vulnerable and threatened human existence because of natural limitations in producing all kinds of human needs of an increasingly consumerist and greedy energy. Therefore, some developing countries, according to a UNEP report on its website in 2010, has a consistent green economics pratek thus become the benchmark for our country (Indonesia does not go too bad.

Here is a developing country: China, Kenya, Uganda, Brazil, India, Nepal, Ecuador, and Tunisia). As follows: samples were taken just four countries.

1. China.
This communist country serus at all in applying the economic development of low carbon dioxide. In "Repelita" his to-11 (2006-2011), China allocates a significant amount of investment in the green sector with emphasis on the utilization of renewable energy and energy efficiency.

In fact, China plans a count per unit GDP energy consumption by 2010 that will decrease by 20% compared to 2005. In addition, the PRC Government is committed to producing 16% of primary energy needs will come from renewable sources by 2020.

2. Kenya
This African country is a country that is rich in biomass energy. However, during the last few years its energy needs depends heavily on imported fossil fuels. However, since March 2008, the Ministry of Energy Kenya adopted a policy called "feed-in tariff" (FIT). This policy is similar in Indonesia. FIT requires energy companies and utilities to meet the needs of the national electricity grid by purchasing electricity from renewable energy.

Pricing of interest rates imposed to stimulate new investment in renewable sectors. Implementation of policy RES (Renewable Energy Sources), including solar, wind, mini hydro, biogas, and utilization of urban waste energy proved to increase the income of the community. This policy also opens up many job opportunities there. In addition RES policies proven to meet the needs of electrical energy from various sources rather than fossil-based electricity generation only.

3. Uganda
Uganda took the initiative to transform the conventional agricultural production in organic farming systems. The result is a significant benefit to the economy, Communities and the environment there.

Organic Agriculture (OA) based on the definition of the Codex Alimentarius Commission is a holistic system of agricultural management which aims to enhance and improve the lives of agricultural ecosystems, including biodiversity, biological cycles and land activities. OA approach also prevents the use of synthetic materials and chemicals to speed up agricultural production.

4. Brazil
Through a sustainable approach to urban planning (SUP), Brazil succeeded in controlling the population density in urban areas. As we know Brazil is the fourth country in the world after China, India and the U.S., which has an urban population growth of 1.8% per year between 2005 and 2010.

This project was successfully implemented in the city of Curitiba is the capital city of the State of Parana. The approach used is innovation in urban planning, city management, and public transportation. Curitiba managed to control the population growth of 361 000 (1960) to only 1.828 million (2008) without incidence of failure due to dense population, without any incidence of pollution, and without prejudice to public spaces.

Population density in cities was more than tripled from 1970 to 2008. However, at the same time, instead of green areas has increased from 1 km to 50 sq km square. SUP approach is also used in other Brazilian cities. What a remarkable policy!

So, with examples of the green economy of developing countries at the top, can Indonesia get lessons? Our country should be greater than Uganda, Kenya, Nepal and even once. What is missing in this country is we are too much fun politicking, corruption, and not focus on what we are actually capable of doing.

Indonesia must "do what We Know" optimally. That is, by nature, we are an agrarian country, state forestry, biodiversity country! Take advantage of it to create products that national pride.
