Indonesia
is rapidly strengthening marine climate action by leveraging its vast blue
carbon ecosystems, boasting 20% of global mangroves to meet ambitious climate
goals, including a 70% reduction in marine debris.
According to ANTARA, a
news agency that delivers real time information on various events from
Indonesia and around the world, Indonesia Ministry of Environment (KLH) and
Ministry of Maritime and Fisheries Affairs (KKP) are strengthening synergy in
climate change control efforts and implementing the economic value of carbon in
the marine and fisheries sector.
This collaboration aims to better coordinate climate actions in these sectors and support the implementation of strategies in order to meet the targets set out in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
The cooperation agreement signed between the two ministries seek to improve coordination in climate action within the marine and fisheries sector, with key initiatives include the Blue Carbon Ecosystems Roadmap, Presidential Regulatation No. 110/2025 on Carbon Economic Value, a €200 million loan for plastic waste and contributing to the fulfilment of national climate objectives.
KLH official Ary Sudijanto highlighted the crucial importance of the marine and fisheries sector in achieving national climate targets, noting that Indonesia, as the world’s largest archipelagic country, has more than 70% of its territory covered by oceans.
The Indonesian ecosystems not only absorb and store large amounts of carbon, but also protect
coastlines, support biodiversity, and bolster the resilience of coastal
communities.
