Inclusive Climate Finance: Improving Access for Marginalized Populations in Indonesia - CPI

This executive summary outlines a report by the Climate Policy Initiative and Hivos Indonesia that assesses the climate finance landscape in Indonesia. It highlights the vulnerability of marginalized communities to climate change and the inadequacy of current top-down financing approaches, proposing a shift toward blended finance and the removal of structural barriers to improve access for these populations.

• Indonesia's current top-down climate finance approach, conducted via bilateral and multilateral cooperation, is characterized by a tendency to prioritize the funding requirements of financiers over the actual needs of local communities, leaving marginalized populations with limited access to finance despite their high exposure to economic and environmental harms.
• To achieve inclusive climate finance, there is a need to address structural barriers—specifically inadequate capacity, public policy, and finance appetite—and to transition the funding trend for vulnerable groups from a reliance on philanthropy toward more commercial finance. The report suggests that a blended finance approach combining public and private capital is the solution to scaling impacts.
• The mobilization of inclusive climate finance is currently hindered by several specific enablers that must be addressed: information misalignment, regulatory uncertainty, an unfavourable policy environment, and low-quality project pipelines.
