5 An Indonesian Ministry of Finance CPI Report

1.1 Introduction

In 2012, annual global climate inance lows reached approximately USD 359 billion – far short of estimated needs Buchner et.al, 2013. Now in its third edition, Climate Policy Initiative’s Global Landscape study is helping policy makers to understand how public resources and money can support mitigation and adaptation eforts, enabling increased action on low- carbon, climate-resilient development. T he Landscape of Public Climate Finance in Indonesia Indonesian Landscape applies the CPI framework to a developing country for the irst time. It aims to inform ongoing eforts by the Government of Indonesia to understand how climate inance is lowing through the economy, and the areas on which it could focus to improve efectiveness going forward. This is achieved by mapping the life cycle of lows, from sources through to intermediaries, instruments, disbursement channels, and inal uses. Climate Policy Initiative CPI conducted this Indonesian Landscape study in partnership with the Fiscal Policy Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Finance MoF. It draws a comprehensive picture of public climate inance lows in Indonesia by compiling the best available data on public inance from a range of national and international sources. Importantly, owing to diiculties accessing suicient, comparable, and reliable data, we have excluded private sector lows from the scope of our inquiry see section 2, ‘Methodological Approach’. Our principal questions are: • How much public climate inance is lowing through the Indonesian economy? • Which organizations or agencies are providing andor managing the delivery of climate inance? • What inancial instruments and mechanisms are being used? • What mitigation and adaptation activities does the inance support? This study neither assesses the scale of inance required to achieve Indonesia’s emission reduction targets, 1 nor whether inance is being used efectively. Likewise, it does not assess the extent to which international climate inance commitments, made in the context of multilateral negotiations, are being met, or otherwise. 2 The Indonesian Landscape establishes a baseline of information that aims to inform future analysis about whether inance is being used efectively. Its indings equip policy makers with information to help understand how to increase climate inance lows from domestic and international sources. Section 2 outlines our methodology and explain key deinitions and methods for gathering and analyzing data. Section 3 summarizes the legal and regulatory framework that governs public climate inance in Indonesia. Section 4 describes the public climate inance landscape in Indonesia in 2011 and provides more detail on the roles key actors play across the life cycle, including the central government and international development partners, as well as local government, and state-owned enterprises. Section 5 concludes with our key indings and some action points for Indonesian and international policy makers. 1 Indonesia’s inancing needs were assessed in Indonesia’s irst Mitigation Fiscal Framework MoF, 2012. 2 This report presents estimates of annual disbursements that are not read- ily comparable to commitments, which are often multi-year or not speciic to one single recipient country. Deinitions of climate inance associated with commitments are also variable.
