Indonesian climate change case formally submits complaint against Holcim

01 February 2023

Switzerland: A civil legal case against Holcim made by four residents of the Indonesian island of Pari has filed a formal complaint against the cement producer on behalf of the entire island at the Cantonal Court of Zug. The civil case was started in July 2022 in response to climate change-induced flooding of the island, according to Reuters. Informal negotiations followed in October 2022 but this failed, according to a representative of Swiss Church Aid. Environmental organisation Walhi claims that this latest action is first formal civil proceeding in Switzerland against a company for its contribution to climate change

Walhi says that the plantiffs are demanding ‘proportional compensation.’ The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) is also supporting the islanders. A spokesperson for Holcim said that climate change was a "top priority for Holcim at the heart of our strategy".

Indonesian cement demand forecast to rise by 33% from start of Nusantara construction

03 August 2022

Indonesia: A Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) academic has estimated a 33% rise in Indonesian cement consumption to 84Mt/yr from the start of construction of the country's planned new capital city, Nusantara, and for the following 20 years during which the city is under construction. National coal consumption is forecast to rise accordingly, by 9% to 126.5Mt/yr. Mongabay News has reported that the Indonesian government has more than tripled the coal domestic market obligation for cement production to 15Mt/yr in 2022 - 2025, from 4.5Mt in 2021.

The site of Nusantara sits on the present border between North Penajam Paser and Kutai Kartanegara districts. Construction of the city's upcoming government district is beginning in August 2022. 100,000 workers will be engaged in the first phase of construction. A researcher at Beihang University, China, has reportedly estimated that the eventual 10m people-strong city will consume 60Mt of cement for residential construction alone.
