Integrating the Circular Economy into Indonesia’s NDC through the AKSARA Planning Module

This publication highlights Indonesia’s efforts to mainstream the circular economy into its national climate planning framework through the AKSARA (Indonesian Low Carbon Development Planning and Monitoring Application) platform. Supported by the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), in collaboration with Bappenas and UNDP, the initiative establishes a systematic approach to integrating circular economy actions, indicators, and institutional responsibilities into Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) planning and monitoring framework. By linking the National Circular Economy Roadmap and Action Plan with existing climate and development planning systems, the initiative strengthens cross-ministerial coordination, enhances policy coherence, and lays the foundation for more integrated planning, financing, and monitoring of Indonesia’s circular economy transition.
