MPs questioned how far the UK’s climate and nature partnership with Indonesia will go in practice, pressing ministers on peatland protection, deforestation in UK supply chains, support for small farmers and indigenous communities, and funding for conservation. They also sought clearer safeguards around projects in places such as West Papua and Batang Toru, and asked how new UK deforestation rules can avoid shifting costs onto forest communities.
