Indonesia is in the process of formulating its second nationally determined contribution (SNDC) which must be informed by the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake (GST1). The next cycle of NDC must set more ambitious climate targets, not only reflected through high quantitative targets, but also ensuring that it can be effectively implemented. An implementable NDC involves clear pathways for enabling NDC implementation at the subnational level, including by local governments, communities, and private sectors.
By drawing lessons learned from East Nusa Tenggara and Central Sulawesi, this brief aims to provide an overview of the current condition of subnational climate actions, including challenges and opportunities that arise to scale up climate actions, followed by a set of recommendations. At the end of the brief provides a snapshot that maps out the main issues as well as the practical measures that can be put into account when implementing climate actions at the subnational level.
