Climate Change
Policy Development
in Indonesia

National Program Manager,
Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund (ICCTF)
The disaster policy experienced
rapid development after the tsunami event in 2004. That trend
affects the research and studies
in Indonesia. Various attempts
were made by the government to
deal with the disaster issue, it
starts with designing the rules
and establishing particular institution that focus on disaster prevention. Some of the disaster
events are triggered by climate
change. One of the big issues
associated with climate change is
the national food security that are
threatened by climate variability.
The Indonesian government has
a strong commitment in Climate
Change mitigation and adaptation. It is shown by one of Indonesia's commitments to reduce
GHG emissions by 26 %.
the countries that has the most
complete rules that are related to
climate change. Unfortunately,
the allocation of funds that are
not available led to a bad realization of those rules. Another challenge that is faced by Indonesia
at the policy level, is the lack of
coordination from the related
institution. Thus, overlapping
numbers of regulations and institution led to the distraction of
climate change adaptation and
mitigation measure. There needs
to be a single entity or a special
ministry that oversees and regulates how the regulatory mechanisms related to climate change
adaptation policy .
ICCTF has the mandate to regulate how the economic funding
