STATEMENT BY INDONESIA

AT HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT OF COP25, CMP15, CMA2

Madrid, 11 December 2019

Madam President,
Excellencies,
Distinguished Delegates,
Ladies and gentlemen,

On behalf of the people and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, I congratulate the
Chilean Presidency in guiding our work and by thanking the Government of Spain for their
solidarity and support in making this meeting success. I also convey our appreciation to the
UNFCCC Secretariat for the excellent arrangement of this Conference.

Indonesia is fully committed to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement by

implementing actions to meet the target of reducing GHG emission unconditionally by 29%
and conditionally up to 41% compared to 2030 business as usual-scenario. On Adaptation,
we have policy to enhance climate resilience on the economy, social and livelihood as well
as ecosystem and landscape. Various policy reforms and actions have been implementing
including:
• Making permanent a temporary moratorium on the conversion of primary natural
forests and peat lands
• conserving the remaining forest areas through REDD+ and sustainable forest
management
• transitioning to cleaner and renewable energy
• implementing climate-related fiscal policies and innovative financing instruments,
• setting up a dedicated environmental financing agency to manage climate-related
funds

Currently, we are updating our NDC, as a part of our long-term low greenhouse gas emission
development strategy called the “Indonesia 2050 Visions on Climate Change”.

Madam President,
Excellencies,
Distinguished Delegates,

Indonesia welcomes the two recent IPCC Special Reports on Land and on Ocean. In addition
to managing terrestrial ecosystem and climate change, we recognize the important linkages
between the ocean and the climate system, including the role of the ocean in climate
mitigation and adaptation.

Hence, there is a need to promote sustainable management, conservation and restoration of

coastal and marine ecosystems. Indonesia’s efforts in this regard include, research in blue
carbon, ecosystem-based adaptation, and development of Marine Protected Areas.
With regard to the concern of GHG emission gap and the need of “Raising NDC ambitions”,
we urge developed country Parties to continue to fulfil their commitments to provide means
of implementation in accordance to Art. 3 and Art. 4 of the Convention and Art.3 of the Paris
Agreement.

In closing, we are concern on unfinished work on the Scope of Next Periodic Review, Article
6, Finance, Transparency Framework and Loss and Damage. We believe that under your able
leadership, Madam President, Parties could finalise and come up with a balanced outcome --
underpinned by a transparent, inclusive, and country driven processes – and honouring the
principle of common but differentiated responsibility and respective capabilities.

Thank you.
