Indonesia pledges two-year deforestation moratorium
Description: Indonesia will introduce a two-year moratorium on deforestation to help tackle climate change, the country's president has said. The decision is part of a deal reached with Norway, which has agreed to contribute up to $1bn (£694m) to help preserve Indonesia's forests. Deforestation accounts for up to 20% of all CO2 emissions.
