Indonesia’s climate change national determined contributions, a farfetch dream or possible reality?

Abstract

As one of the Parties of the Paris Agreement, Indonesia is required to prepare and communicate its own National Determined Contribution (NDC) and maintaining successive nationally NDC which it intends to achieve. Indonesia has set unconditional reduction target by 29% and the conditional target up to 41% of the business as usual scenario by 2030. By setting these goals, Indonesia envisions achieving archipelagic climate resilience through comprehensive adaptation and mitigation programs and disaster risk reduction strategies This research tries to depict local regulating efforts to reach those NDC targets in the local level of Indonesia’s government, through examining the local government effort in dealing with climate change issue and fulfilling Indonesia’s NDC target. Also suggest alternative options to achieve NDC implementation in the local level in Indonesia, emphasize the role of Ministry of Environment and Forestry to re-introduce and socialize Indonesia’s NDC to the local government.

Implementation Efforts of the Nationally Determined Contributions Under the Paris Agreement

“…Based on this study, Sulistiawati [24] has not found any local regulations that support the national strategy in implementing NDCs. Responding to these problems in Indonesia, Sulistiawati [24] suggested that the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry needs to reintroduce and socialize Indonesia's NDCs to local levels, encourage ways to reduce GHG, and combat climate change together. Furthermore, to achieve the NDCs, Panggabean [25] states that educational efforts are needed, not only for millennials and communities around forests or peatlands and the private sector but also for children.…”

A Qualitative Review on the Strategies to Reduce the Buildings’ Carbon Emissions

“…From the method used in searching the relevant papers to be analyzed, sixteen (16) articles addressing the reduction of carbon emissions from buildings were obtained. Table 2 shows the list of the reviewed articles (by author, year, journal tittle, and references), 37…”

“…By passing Law No. 16 of 2016, Indonesia officially became a party to the Paris Agreement, which outlined its climate pledges in the NDC document [16], aiming to limit global temperature rise below 1.5ºC [3]. Indonesia's path to achieving net-zero emissions involves reducing fossil fuel usage, promoting ecofriendly technologies, and increasing the use of renewable energy sources [17].…”
