Program Overview
Legally established in early 2014, WRI Indonesia builds on WRIโs global 20-year history in the country and the official establishment of WRI Indonesia office has strengthened our impacts on the ground in recent years. Our works are divided into terrestrial (forest, food, and land use) and non-terrestrial (climate, energy, cities, and the ocean) portfolios.
One of the initiatives under the nexus of energy, cities and transport is called: Bali Climate and Green Development programme. The Bali Climate and Green Development Initiative is a five-year program on the decarbonization of Bali through renewable energy transition, e-mobility, and climate entrepreneurship and leadership to achieve Bali Net-Zero Emission in 2045. The initiative is a collaborative effort between implementing partners within a Project Management Office (PMO), which will synergize Bali local actors and stakeholders in accelerating the clean energy transition, implementing electric vehicle, and strengthening the local communitiesโ involvement in the green development agenda.
World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia, Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) and New Energy Nexus , and CAST Foundation have co-designed a multi-yearโs program for Bali Climate and Green Development Initiative with our local actors and partners in Bali, to demonstrate how a rapid, province-scale effort with a focus on energy decarbonization and climate solutions can benefit local people, the economy, and the environment, while at the same time providing a strong foundation for Bali Net-Zero Emission goals by 2045 and contributing to national climate targets. This projectโs theory of change is adapted from the program to ensure synergy and collaboration between partners to achieve our overarching goal.
One of the initial steps taken to start this program is to develop the communications strategy of the Bali Climate and Green Development Initiative. WRI Indonesia, IESR and New Nexus Energy, CAST Foundation, as well as the implementing partners of Bali PMO/ Koalisi Bali Emisi Nol Bersih have identified three main stages in communication strategies, to be implemented throughout the period of the project:
- Building Awareness: Strengthen the Bali PMO/ Koalisi Bali Emisi Nol Bersih's identity as a collaborative platform for non-state actors to advance energy decarbonization and climate solutions in Bali.
- Strengthen Reputation: Showcasing the Bali PMO/ Koalisi Bali Emisi Nol Bersih's role in advancing climate solutions for Bali, as well as taking the lead on climate solutions in Indonesia.
- Gain Trust: Gaining trust on the forum as the leading collaborative platform for climate solutions in Bali and Indonesia.
