The Government of Indonesia (GoI) recognizes that climate change and its many threats to human life and livelihoods present unique challenges to achieving its environmental and development objectives and Indonesia has prepared a series of policies and instruments to tackle these issues. At the UNFCCC’s Conference of Parties meeting in Paris in 2015, the GoI pledged through its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to reduce Indonesia’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 41% by 2030 with international assistance (29% with its own resources) relative to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario and as 2021 Indonesia set a new target Enhanced NDC which is reduce Indonesia’s GHG emission by 31% with its own resource and 43% with international assistance

Indonesian government also has conveyed a long-term vision to develop a climate-resilient low carbon development pattern in line with the Paris target called the Low Carbon Compatible with Paris Agreement target (LCCP) scenario. It is expected that net zero emissions will be achieved by 2060 or earlier.

Carbon pricing is one of instruments to implement and achieve NDC target. As stated in NDC document that Forestry is the biggest sector contributing to emission reduction. Further, there is an agriculture sector as well contributing to emission reduction.  The new administration/government should continue the NDC target. At this point, it is important the new administration/government presents a new strategy in continuing to achieve the NDC target.
