National Action Plan Addressing Climate Change, 2007 (Indonesia)

The objective in formulating the National Action Plan to address climate change is to provide guidance to various institutions in carrying out a coordinated and integrated effort to tackle climate change. Adaptation to climate change is a key aspect of the national development agenda, in order to achieve development patterns that are resilient to the impacts of current and future climate change. The long-term objective of the climate change adaptation agenda is the integration of climate change adaptation into national development plans. 

The National Action Plan is focusing on mitigation and adaptation efforts as a response to climate change. Mitigation and adaptation frameworks could not be treated as two separate independent branches. In economic sectors that are sensitive to the impact of climate change such as agriculture, vital services as well as energy industry, quality and sustainability of mitigation action will depend on the adaptation preparedness in the central and local government. Under mitigation, one of the main targets for implementation is to reduce energy intensity through the efficiency improvement and clean technology implementation. Moreover, emission reduction is strengthened by incentive and disincentive mechanism for local government in increasing the forest vegetation coverage, tackling and preventing forest fire, and sustainable peat land management. An incentive mechanism to prevent deforestation will also be implemented to help change the traditional farming practice of slash and burn. On the other hand, the climate change adaptation agenda will focus on the areas vulnerable to climate change, namely water resource, agriculture, fisheries, coastal and marine, infrastructure and settlement, health and forestry.
