About Climate & Energy
The History
 |
To achieve these targets, three areas of interventions were developed: (1) focus on the power sector, (2) focus on post-2012 Kyoto Protocol, and (3) focus on resilience building/adaptation strategies.
Intervention in the power sector was important since it contributed 20% of the country's carbon emissions and the Government of Indonesia had planned to utilize its coal deposits for present and future power plants. The C&E Programme therefore focused on advocating low-carbon energy policy, raising public awareness through a national PowerSwitch! campaign and network on clean and sustainable energy sector. Following the campaign about energy efficiency (save energy), the C&E Programme begins to carry out information dissemination of the importance of using clean and renewable energy (sustainable energy sector).
After the commitment period of the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol (2008-2012), countries from both Annex 1 (industrialized and transition countries listed in this annex to the UN Climate Convention) and Non-Annex 1 (those countries not listed in Annex 1; these are mainly developing countries) are obliged to lead the way in cutting GHG emissions deeper. The C&E Programme's work here focused on improving understanding and capacity of negotiators on Indonesia's climate change strategies, government units and civil society organizations, by being a significant and active advisor and facilitator for Indonesia in both national and international initiatives related to UNFCC process).
