This is an exciting opportunity for a pro-active person to help shape, direct and provide support and expertise towards low carbon development and climate change in Indonesia at a time when climate change is global issues and development is critical as impacted by Covid-19 pandemic.

Indonesia is the world’s 5th largest emitter of Greenhouse Gases (GHG). GHG emissions from Indonesia are predicted to increase by 115% from 2010 to 2030, based on business as usual. Indonesia has committed to reduce GHG emissions by as much 29% with its own efforts and 41% by 2030 with support from International communities as part of the country’s contribution to the Paris Accord. The Government of Indonesia is now working to translate this ambition into national planning and budgeting processes. The Low Carbon Policy and Finance team (LCPF), apart of the Low Carbon Development Group (LCDG), focuses its works on low carbon development planning, and has been providing technical support to the Government of Indonesia to support implementation to achieve its challenging climate change objectives and ambition while in the same time provide efforts on how to pararelly work for higher ambitions.

Through the first phase of the Low Carbon Development Initiative (LCDI) programme, the LCPF has in partnership with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to develop a vision for a national low carbon development plan which mainstreamed at the Indonesia medium term development plan (RPJMN 2020-2024). The next phase (LCDI Phase 2 programme) which is to support the GoI to prepare for and to begin the implementation of that plan both at national and sub-national level as part of Build Back Better Narrative and considering impact of Covid-19. It also aims to build deep and wide lasting low carbon economy support for long-term development plan (RPJPN 2025-2045). The programme will provide evidence and advice to policymakers on key areas where actions on growth and climate are possible, and will engage officials, business leaders and civil society representatives to drive ambition and the pace of implementation. Indonesia positioning itself on a low carbon development trajectory has the potential to bring significant results on global climate change, both for the results that the programme will achieve in itself and for the possibility for Indonesia to act as a change leader and example of good practice for other countries in the region and beyond.
