The first Global Stocktake (GST), conducted during COP28 in Dubai last year, concluded that current policies and actions taken by countries around the world are still insufficient to limit the increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C, in line with the Paris Agreement.

Findings from the First Technical Dialogue of the Global Stocktake revealed a significant action gap, which will serve as a key reference for negotiations and for increasing global ambition on emissions reduction in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

In response, the Government of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), will update its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) into the Second NDC (SNDC) in 2024, setting emissions reduction targets for 2030 and 2035 (KLHK, 2024).

To address this process, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) and MADANI Berkelanjutan, together with a number of civil society organizations, have developed sectoral recommendations to ensure that the SNDC updates its underlying scenarios and sets targets aligned with the goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to reach 1.5°C, as mandated by the Paris Agreement and reaffirmed by the Global Stocktake decision at COP28.

MADANI Berkelanjutan, IESR, and other civil society organizations are also urging the government to ensure meaningful public participation in the SNDC preparation process. In addition, the government is expected to uphold the principles of Article 4, paragraph 13 of the Paris Agreement, as well as relevant COP decisions, in drafting the SNDC. Civil society groups further note that the current Enhanced NDC (ENDC) fails to adequately incorporate climate justice principles.

Civil society calls for the SNDC formulation process to enable broader participation, provide climate protection for vulnerable communities, and be conducted in a transparent and inclusive manner.

In particular, MADANI Berkelanjutan, IESR, and other civil society organizations have put forward six key recommendations for the development of Indonesia’s SNDC.

To share updates on the SNDC process and broader climate commitments, MADANI Berkelanjutan and IESR invite journalists to attend a media briefing to discuss trends in Indonesia’s climate commitments (NDC, ENDC, and SNDC), emissions projections and sectoral impacts, as well as civil society critiques and recommendations on the latest SNDC developments.

The media briefing will be held on:
