UNDPโs Work on Climate Finance:
The National Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024 reflects the Government of Indonesiaโs (GOI) strong commitment to achieving the SDGs while making a significant shift towards low-carbon economic transformation and intensifying efforts to address underfunded sectors such as sanitation and developing the blue economy. Indonesia also shown its climate commitment through several international agreements, including the Paris Agreement in 2015. Indonesia has updated the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) in 2022, with new ambitious targets by 31.89% unconditionally and 43.20% conditionally. The target, planned to be achieved in 2030, coincided with the United Nationsโ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which also aims to achieve all 17 goals by 2030.
Attaining the targets for GHG emission reduction required a huge amount of funds. According to the Second Biennial Update Report (BUR) in 2018, Indonesia has delivered the funding needed to achieve the
