CLIMATE CHANGE FINANCING FOR CITIES IN INDONESIA

The document assesses the climate finance landscape in Indonesia, highlighting a significant gap between the financial needs for mitigation and adaptation and the available funds. Using Kupang as a case study, it identifies a lack of local regulatory frameworks and action plans, which hinders the ability of cities to access national and international funding. The report recommends the establishment of local trust funds and a dedicated information platform to help cities mobilize resources from public, private, and international sources.

• Indonesia faces significant hurdles in accessing the Green Climate Fund (GCF) due to the difficulty of gaining accreditation for national implementing entities, with challenges including language barriers and procurement procedures.
• The city of Kupang lacks a formal regulatory framework, climate change action plan, or greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy, which limits the effectiveness of climate finance disbursement at the city level.
• There is a substantial funding gap for sanitation and water management in Kupang; for the period 2015-2019, the estimated financial need is IDR 276.967 million, while available local budget funding is only IDR 53.47 million.
