The report identifies financial barriers as the most severe challenge to green building implementation in Indonesia, citing a lack of dedicated financing instruments and high interest rates. While national regulations like GR 16/2021 have introduced green building standards, they are limited to very large buildings and exclude the residential sector, which accounts for 83% of building energy demand. A case study in Semarang demonstrates that combining building material retrofits with high-efficiency air conditioning can reduce cooling energy use by 32% to 44%, potentially saving USD 3.19 million annually. However, meeting green building mandates in Semarang over the next decade is estimated to require USD 223.7 million in investment.

The document outlines a strategy to enhance the resilience of 300 million small-scale producers by 2030 through Digital Climate-Informed Advisory Services (DCAS). It identifies a funding requirement of approximately $7 billion between 2021 and 2030, noting that such investments can yield a 1-to-24 return and increase producer productivity by 30% and income by 25%. The blueprint proposes six core principles—data quality, equity, co-creation, accountability, financial sustainability, and scalability—to guide the implementation and targeting of these services to the most vulnerable populations.
