[newdevjobsindo] REPOST - GIZ Indonesia for the Climate and Biodiversity Hub Indonesia Project: (Senior) Advisor on Climate Change Mitigation Policy with focus on Circular Economy Position
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 plays an important role in achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement and the Convention of Biological Diversity. The country is one of the ten largest greenhouse gas emitters worldwide, with emissions continuing to rise until 2030, but at the same time, it suffers from the consequences of the impact of climate change and biodiversity loss.
Committed to tackle these challenges, the Indonesian government has been developing a climate and biodiversity policy framework. However, its successful implementation requires harmonization with national development planning, a coordinated approach of relevant actors at all levels as well as sufficient capacities and funding. Since 2010, the main elements of the climate change policy and the Indonesia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP) are integrated into RPJM and RKP. In RPJM 2020-2024, climate and biodiversity policies are further emphasized as national development priority.

Partners are the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas), the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), other related line ministries as well as state and non-state stakeholders at national and subnational levels.
