Indonesia expressed interest in the United Nations’ top climate change position, which will be vacant starting July following the resignation of current chief Yvo de Boer, the Jakarta Post reports. The country’s favored candidates include Liana Bratasida, an international environmental affairs expert connected with the environment ministry and Agus Purnomo, a recent addition to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s climate change staff. Indonesian officers reportedly tried to lobby participants of a climate change meeting in Bali last week to support the country’s bid for the position, the Jakarta Post adds.
