Natural Climate Solutions in Indonesia
This report examines Natural Climate Solutions in Indonesia, presenting scientific analysis of nine prioritized NCS pathways—including peatlands, drylands, and mangroves—and their maximum mitigation potential. Findings show NCS could deliver up to 1,471 MtCO₂e/year, significantly advancing Indonesia’s 2030 climate commitments.

Overview
This report presents a national‑scale assessment of Indonesia’s potential for Natural Climate Solutions (NCS)—land‑based actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase carbon sequestration. It identifies and analyzes nine priority NCS pathways, including peatland protection, mangrove restoration, improved forest management, and sustainable agriculture.
The study quantifies the maximum mitigation potential of these pathways and evaluates how they can contribute to Indonesia’s climate commitments. It emphasizes that NCS can deliver substantial emissions reductions while supporting biodiversity, local livelihoods, and long‑term land stewardship.
The report also highlights the importance of policy alignment, cross‑sector collaboration, and investment to unlock this potential. It positions NCS as a critical component of Indonesia’s strategy to meet and exceed its 2030 climate targets.
