How Can Indonesia Achieve Its Climate Change Mitigation Goal?

This research paper by the World Resources Institute analyzes the emissions abatement potential of land-use and energy policies in Indonesia to determine if they are sufficient to meet the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets.

• Indonesia has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 29 percent unconditionally, or up to 41 percent with international support, against a 2030 business-as-usual (BAU) scenario.
• Current policies in the land-use and energy sectors are insufficient to meet the unconditional NDC target; full implementation would result in emissions of approximately 2,311 MtCO2, exceeding the target of 2,037 MtCO2e.
• Strengthening policies could reduce total emissions to approximately 1,733 MtCO2, which would surpass the 29 percent unconditional reduction target.
• The forest moratorium is the most impactful single policy; renewing it through 2030 could reduce emissions by 188 MtCO2, while expanding it to include secondary forests and concession licenses could reduce emissions by 437 MtCO2 by 2030.
• The energy sector is expected to be the dominant source of emissions by 2026–27. A renewable energy mix target could reduce emissions by 266 MtCO2 by 2030, and combining this with energy conservation could increase reductions to approximately 544 MtCO2.
