Indonesia
Indonesia has embarked on the development of comprehensive national plans for climate change mitigation, aligning with its commitments under the Paris Agreement. The country ratified the Agreement and submitted an enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2022. Additionally, it has formulated a national Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience (LTS-LCCR) aiming for 2050. Within this framework, Indonesia has expressed a keen interest in fostering international partnerships. These collaborations aim to support the nation's sustainable transition to a low-carbon economy and facilitate a green recovery in the post-COVID-19 era.
