Said climate change commitments were originally set out under Law No. 16 of 2016 on the Ratification of the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which addresses the government’s obligation to reduce Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions ("GHG"), as stipulated under the country’s nationally determined contribution ("NDC") to limit any increase in global average temperatures to the 1.5℃ - 2℃ range above pre-industrial temperature levels.

Efforts to achieve Indonesia’s NDC target will encompass the following measures: 1) The mitigation of climate change; and 2) Adaptation to climate change. The organization of efforts to mitigate climate change will involve the following areas/sectors: 1) Energy; 2) Waste; 3) Industry and product usage processes; 4) Agriculture; 5) Forestry; and/or 6) Other sectors, in accordance with scientific and technological developments.
The NEK will be implemented by ministries/institutions, regional governments, business actors and the general public through the following mechanisms: 1) Carbon trading; 2) Result-based payments; 3) Levies on carbon; and/or 4) Other mechanisms that are adopted in accordance with scientific and technological developments and which will be stipulated by the Minister of Environment and Forestry.
