PAGE Indonesia: Activities and Achievements from 5 UN Agencies (Available in English Only)
- United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
UNEP provided critical policy support for the LCDI and strengthened capacities to implement green initiatives at national and sub-national levels. Its contributions included creating regional inventories on food loss and waste (FLW) and formulating actionable strategies to meet SDG 12.3. UNEP also partnered on circular economy initiatives, enhancing policies for green recovery and sustainability in key sectors.
- International Labour Organization (ILO)
ILO focused on green jobs and just transitions, conducting studies on opportunities in sectors like palm cooking oil and the electric vehicle (EV) value chain. These efforts led to actionable policy recommendations and skill development strategies. ILO also examined the renewable energy sector, identifying the potential for millions of jobs under sustainable energy scenarios, and hosted impactful forums to promote green employment and biodiversity conservation practices
- United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
UNDP facilitated the integration of green economy principles into Indonesia's development policies, aligning with the Medium-Term Development Plans (RPJMN) and the Low Carbon Development Initiative (LCDI). Key achievements include creating circular economy roadmaps, conducting sustainability workshops, and promoting innovative green financing mechanisms. Initiatives like the "Ngupahan" App for food waste processing in Bogor and youth ideathons on green economy issues exemplify UNDP’s community-driven approach to fostering sustainability.
- United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
UNIDO championed resource efficiency and cleaner production practices in industries like fertilizer, iron, steel, and food and beverages. It conducted detailed industrial assessments and promoted circular economy principles to reduce environmental impact while boosting competitiveness. UNIDO also advanced EV readiness through in-depth impact studies and convened key stakeholders to discuss strategies for accelerating green industrial transformation.
- United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)
UNITAR focused on education and capacity-building through initiatives like the Inclusive Green Economy Modelling (IGEM) course, empowering university students with systemic thinking skills for sustainable planning. It also conducted circular economy workshops and policy dialogues addressing challenges in the food and beverage sector. These efforts align with Indonesia’s long-term development goals for a green and low-carbon economy.
