The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government. We work to shape a future worth living in over 120 countries around the world.
Indonesia has adopted ambitious climate, biodiversity and energy transition targets; however, the delivery of these commitments is hampered by weak coordination, limited alignment between sects, and capacity gaps. Against this, German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) through the International Climate Initiative (ICI) has agreed with the Indonesian Ministry for Environment (KLH) and the Ministry for Development Planning (BAPPENAS) to jointly implement the Accelerating Indonesia’s Climate and Biodiversity Actions and Transformation – ACT Indonesia.
The project aims to strengthen institutional coordination and technical capacities at national and subnational levels for an integrated implementation of NDC, NBSAP and NAP. It promotes evidence-based planning and reporting through harmonised data systems, implementation guidance and gender-responsive capacity development. By improving horizontal and vertical coordination, the project strengthens action planning in the climate–biodiversity nexus, thereby increasing the effectiveness and sustainability of public interventions. In doing so, it improves the conditions for achieving national targets and supports transformational change towards inclusive, resilient and nature-positive development, while reinforcing Indonesia’s contribution to global climate and biodiversity goals.
