Inclusive Climate Finance: Improving Access for Marginalized Populations in Indonesia

The document identifies a gap in Indonesia's top-down climate finance approach, which often prioritizes financier requirements over the needs of marginalized communities. It argues for a shift from a reliance on philanthropic funding toward commercial and blended finance to increase the scale and coverage of support. To achieve this, the report emphasizes the need to address structural barriers such as inadequate capacity, low-quality project pipelines, and regulatory uncertainty.

• Indonesia's current top-down climate finance model, driven by bilateral and multilateral cooperation, often prioritizes the requirements of financiers over the actual needs of local marginalized communities.
• To increase the quantity and coverage of finance for vulnerable groups, there must be a transition from philanthropic funding toward commercial finance, utilizing a blended finance approach to combine public and private capital.
• The mobilization of inclusive climate finance is hindered by structural barriers, including inadequate capacity, information misalignment, regulatory uncertainty, an unfavorable policy environment, and low-quality project pipelines.
