Sustainable and Low-Carbon Development (LCD) in Indonesia and Asia:
Dialogues between Policymakers and Scientists on Green Growth (GG)

On 16 and 17 February 2010, IGES organised "Sustainable Low-Carbon Development in Indonesia and Asia: A Dialogue between Policymakers and Scientists on Green Growth" at the IPB International Convention Centre, Bogor, Indonesia.

At the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, it was agreed that actions will be taken globally to stabilise the climate.

Following the completion of COP15, Indonesian President Yudhoyono reiterated his country's voluntary commitment to reduce its emissions by 26 percent by 2020 or by 41 percent with international assistance.

In the workshop, policymakers from several government agencies made presentations on policies that can help achieve sustainable low carbon development in Indonesia. This was followed by presentations from researchers on scenario development, energy modeling and other issues featured in low carbon studies.

Low carbon research and activities in Japan, China, India, Thailand and Cambodia were also reported and shared among participants. In addition, there were lively discussions on trends in key sectors (land use, forestry, agriculture, transport and energy) and cross-cutting themes such as technology transfer, institutional change, and Asian cultures and customs.

Based on the workshop, it is expected that more research on low carbon society will be conducted in Indonesia and Asia. It is further hoped that the dialogue between policymakers and researchers will lead to better policies and research on sustainable low carbon development in Asia.
