Increasing Climate Data and Ambition in Indonesia through Enhanced Transparency and Incentive Schemes

The paper introduces the "data loop" concept for Indonesia, where the private sector provides climate and GHG emissions data to the government, which in turn creates mandatory reporting systems and incentives for voluntary reporting. This mechanism is intended to mirror an "ambition loop," where bold policy and corporate leadership mutually accelerate climate action. The author argues that Indonesia can enhance its climate data and sustainable development planning, such as the Low Carbon Development Indonesia (LCDI) initiative, by developing a participatory and integrated reporting system.

• The "data loop" is a collaborative relationship where the private sector shares climate and GHG emissions data with the government, and the government implements mandatory reporting systems and incentives for voluntary reporting to encourage further data sharing.
• The data loop is based on the "ambition loop" model, a feedback cycle where bold government policy and corporate leadership mutually drive faster progress toward national targets and the identification of market opportunities.
• Indonesia can improve its climate data and support sustainable development planning, specifically the Low Carbon Development Indonesia (LCDI), by establishing a participatory and integrated reporting system that combines mandatory requirements with support for voluntary private data collection.
