Indonesia's First Nationally Determined Contribution, 2016

The Republic of Indonesia voluntarily pledged to reduce emissions by 26% on its own efforts, and up to 41% with international support, against the business as usual (BAU) scenario by 2020. Thus, Indonesia has promulgated relevant legal and policy instruments, including the national action plan on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction as stipulated in Presidential Regulation (PERPRES) No. 61/2011 and GHG inventory through PERPRES No. 71/2011. Post 2020, Indonesia envisions a progression beyond its existing commitment to emission reductions. Based on the country’s most recent emission level assessment, Indonesia has set unconditional reduction target of 29% and conditional reduction target up to 41% of the BAU scenario by 2030. The Republic of Indonesia will implement enhanced actions to study and map regional vulnerabilities as the basis of adaptation information system, and to strengthen institutional capacity and promulgation of climate change-sensitive policies and regulations by 2020. The medium-term goal of Indonesia’s climate change adaptation strategy is to reduce risks on all development sectors (agriculture, water, energy security, forestry, maritime and fisheries, health, public service, infrastructure and urban system) by 2030 through local capacity strengthening, improved knowledge management, convergent policy on climate change adaptation and disaster risks reduction, and application of adaptive technology.
