Vice Presidential Candidate number one, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin, stated that Indonesia is experiencing numerous ecological disasters.

He made this statement during the fourth 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate, themed "Sustainable Development, Natural Resources, Environment, Energy, Food, Agrarian, Indigenous Communities, and Villages," held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, on Sunday (21/1/2024).

In a question-and-answer session, Cak Imin said, "Over the past nine years, we have witnessed alarming environmental damage and climate change, ecological disasters, floods, landslides, and various other difficult situations."

This statement aligns with a report by the Indonesian Environmental Forum (Walhi), which indicates a continuous increase in ecological disasters in Indonesia from 2015 to 2021.

Walhi defines ecological disasters as "an accumulation of ecological crises caused by injustice and the failure of environmental management systems, resulting in the destruction of environmental carrying capacity and resilience, as well as damage to ecosystems and people's livelihoods."

Walhi recorded 1,694 ecological disasters in 2015. This number steadily increased, reaching a peak of 5,402 cases in 2021.

In 2022, the number decreased to 3,531 incidents, but the number of victims increased.

"The destruction of Indonesia's environment, the high number of disasters, and the inequality that occurs are due to the failure of the state to understand its people," said Walhi Executive Director Zenzi Suhadi in a discussion titled *Environmental Review 2023* on Walhi's YouTube channel, Tuesday (31/1/2023).
