Climate and Biodiversity Hub Indonesia

Indonesia is severely affected by climate change impacts and harbours unique biodiversity that is under threat. At the same time, the archipelago is one of the ten largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world and plays an important role in achieving the Paris Climate Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The project supports the Indonesian government in mainstreaming its climate and biodiversity policies into national development planning. To this end, it trains staff of relevant line ministries and strengthens cooperation with civil society and academia. The project also advises on improving competencies for transparent reporting, financial resource mobilisation and knowledge exchange with the international community. As an IKI interface project, it is responsible for networking and communication between the implementing organisations of IKI projects in Indonesia.

State of implementation/results

The project was officially launched in October 2021.
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KHLK) submitted the Enhanced NDC (ENDC) to UNFCCC in September 2022.With additional input from the IKI Support Project, KLHK increased Indonesia’s GHG emission reduction targets from 29% to 31.89% (unconditional) and from 41% to 43.20% (conditional).
Main highlights so far:
- Policy and strategy documents:
- Near Zero Emission Waste (NZEW) 2050 strategy with milestones to reach near zero emission in the waste sector. -- Submission of the Adaptation Communication (ADCOM) to UNFCCC by KLHK, providing Indonesia’s climate change assessment.
- Development of new NBSAP in alignment with GBF and inclusion of biodiversity indicators in the long-term development plan 2025-2045.
- Mid-term evaluation of the medium-term development plan 2020-2024 to track progress of the implementation of the low carbon development.
- Scenario modelling of low carbon development for green economy, with focus on the agriculture and waste management sector was used in the formulation of national development plans (RPJPN 2025-2045 and RPJMN 2025-2029).
- Report on Stocktaking for Just Transition in Indonesia’s Second Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
- Inventory and Verification of Areas with High Biodiversity Values 2022 Report is being finalized.
