Collaboration for Climate Action: Hanns Seidel Foundation and Ministry of Environment and Forestry driving Adaptation and GHG Mitigation in Indonesia
Building the capacity of non-party stakeholders to develop adaptation action plan documents and an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions

Strengthening Regional Adaptation

The commitment to reduce GHG emissions and build resilience to climate impacts is enshrined in Presidential Regulation No. 98 of 2021. This regulation emphasizes local governments' critical role in crafting and implementing Local Adaptation Action Plans (RADs) and Local Mitigation Action Plans (DRAMs). With HSF’s support, the provinces of South Sumatra and Bali prepared comprehensive RADs, detailing vulnerability assessments, climate risks, and prioritized interventions. These RADs will integrate into the 2025–2029 Local Mid-Term Development Plans (RPJMD), guiding adaptive measures to reduce vulnerabilities over the next four years.

Enhancing Greenhouse Gas Inventories

South Sulawesi Province, in partnership with HSF and MoEF, conducted an in-depth GHG inventory to monitor emissions trends. Using the national technology-based GHG Inventory System SIGN-SMART—developed for enhanced transparency and accuracy—the province was gathering data to inform targeted reductions. With a goal of a 12.82% emission reduction by 2025, South Sulawesi demonstrates the importance of localized, data-driven climate action.

Workshops, Training, and Public Engagement

Throughout 2024, HSF and MoEF organized workshops and training sessions to empower provincial governments and stakeholders:

• Adaptation Action Plan Training: Held in South Sumatra and Bali, these sessions trained 165 participants in using the SIDIK web application to assess vulnerabilities. Workshops fostered collaboration, while public consultations integrated community feedback into the adaptation strategies.

• GHG Inventory Training: In Sulawesi, 142 participants from across the region received hands-on guidance on using SIGN-SMART for data input and monitoring. The training simplified complex processes, enabling efficient implementation of GHG inventories.

   

Dignitaries such the Provincial Secretary of South Sumatra (Edward Chandra) and Bali (Dewa Made Indra) Provinces, the Director of the Adaptation Directorate of the Directorate General of Climate Change Control (Irawan Asaad, PhD), the Head of the Provincial Ministry of Environment of South Sumatra (Herdi Apriyansyah, SSTP, MM) and Bali (I Made Dwi Arbani) Provinces, and the Resident Representative of the Hanns Seidel Foundation in Indonesia (Julia Berger) lent their support to these initiatives, highlighting the strong collaboration between HSF and MoEF.

Moving Forward

These activities represent a significant step toward achieving Indonesia’s NDC goals. By equipping local governments with the tools and knowledge to address climate challenges, the partnership between HSF and MoEF serves as a model for collaborative and sustainable climate action.
