Indonesia’s Role in Global Climate Action
CLIMATE CHANGE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAMME & INDONESIA STUDIES PROGRAMME
About the Hybrid Seminar
Indonesia, the fourth world’s most populous country, is the world’s fifth largest emitting country. In recent years, it has begun to ramp up its climate ambition, with several notable commitments, including the target of net zero emissions by 2060. Indonesia also aims for an emissions reduction of 29% by 2030 using domestic resources, which can be increased to 41% reduction if given sufficient international support. The country faces considerable challenges in attaining high-income status while pursuing various strategies to achieve its climate targets in a socially equitable way. Doing so will require innovative policies and solutions across multiple government sectors and industries, especially energy and manufacturing, forestry and land use. It also calls for close collaboration between Indonesia, developed country partners and the private sector to build reliable and credible flows of finance, technology and expertise at the scale needed for an economy-wide green transformation.
In this seminar, Masyita Crystallin Ph.D, Special Advisor to the Minister of Finance Republic of Indonesia on Macroeconomic and Fiscal Policy, will share insights into how Indonesia plans to balance economic and welfare priorities while strengthening its leadership in global climate governance.
