Japan will help to fund Indonesia's transition from coal-fired power to cleaner energy, the countries said on Monday, and invited others to join the collaboration, as part of Japan's effort to reduce planet-warming emissions throughout Asia.
The announcement follows bilateral talks between Indonesia and Japan in Bali ahead of the Group of 20 (G20) summit, which begins on Tuesday. It also coincides with U.N. climate talks in Egypt, which have entered their second and final week.
