Exploring Indonesia’s climate diplomacy through the Climate Club
As a party to the Paris Agreement, Indonesia is committed to the global goal of limiting earth temperature to 1,5 degree Celsius, pre-industrial level, to achieve an even broader goal of Net Zero Emission (NZE) by 2060 as a response to a warmer earth and climate change. Furthermore, Indonesia has taken its own measures to contribute to this goal by establishing several Government Regulations and plans of action, such as updated its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of emission reduction target and engagement with multi-stakeholders under the framework of Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).
However, Indonesia is still being criticized due to its lack of implementation action and slow progress of climate mitigation. Critics are also addressed to multilateral forums which considered as formalities and platform for other countries to freeriding on other states’ emissions-cutting efforts. This hinders Indonesia’s effort to realize its goals on climate action.
The need for other approach other than multilateralism is consequential to address this issue. Therefore, the framework of ‘minilateralism’ such as the G7’s1 proposal of Climate Club might provide answer to the deficiencies of multilateralism in addressing climate change issues. Climate Club as the new mechanism offers to expedite the goals for highly ambitious countries, including Indonesia. Climate Club provides opportunity for Indonesia to put forward its climate diplomacy that goes beyond just commitments.
This paper will analyze G7’s proposal for Indonesia to join the Climate Club and how to best respond to the proposal.
This paper will also address policy recommendation on 1) utilization of the Climate Club as the new tools for Indonesia’s climate diplomacy and 2) Indonesia’s way forward with the Climate Club.
