Indonesia is among the world’s ten biggest emitters and is Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
Soon, the Government of Indonesia will update its pledge to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
Known as a nationally determined contribution, or NDC, the new commitment will signal what’s to come for the Indonesian economy and its political and economic partners.
Join Climateworks’ in-house experts as we explore what it could mean for Indonesia to increase its climate commitment.
Indonesia is located in one of the world’s most densely populated and climate-vulnerable regions.
As a result, greater climate ambition is vital for the nation. But this increased ambition will be felt differently in each sector of its economy.
Achieving strong emissions reductions will take approaches that balance the needs of people, the environment and the economy.
In this 50 minute webinar, experts from Climateworks’ Jakarta and Melbourne offices come together to discuss the many opportunities – and some challenges – a strong NDC presents for Southeast Asia’s most populous nation.
This event was recorded on Tuesday 13 August, 2024 at 2:00pm (AEST) / 11:00 am (WIB).
