Enabling Blue Carbon in Indonesia

About this project

The Government of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) as a national focal point to UNFCCC, is currently developing measurable steps to increase the NDC targets by incorporating and implementing the blue carbon. Indonesia has not included blue carbon ecosystems in the country’s NDCs, either in the mitigation or adaptation strategies. The key challenges associated with incorporating and implementing blue carbon into the NDCs include limited technical capacity and coordination between government agencies who lead the sector and sub-sectors, a lack of data and standard methodology, and the increasing degradation of coastal wetland ecosystems; as well as funding constraints for developing and implementing policies and practices in programs focusing on the conservation of blue carbon ecosystems. This program will focus on supporting national level policy development, coordination, and technical capacity for blue carbon. It will also improve understanding of blue carbon by filling key research gaps and through tool and software development.
