Indonesia will officially launch the DINFRA Climate Resilience Fund (CRF), a new initiative aimed at scaling up finance for nature-based solutions (NbS) to tackle climate change, enhance biodiversity, and support sustainable development. This innovative climate fund, supported by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) under the UN-REDD Programme, is designed to close the multi-billion-dollar finance gap and attract both public and private investments.
The fund will target a wide range of financial sources, including state and regional budgets, insurance companies, venture capital firms, and philanthropic foundations. It will support vital NbS projects such as reforestation, mangrove restoration, and wetland conservation, contributing to Indonesia’s ambitious climate goals and its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89% by 2030. This initiative will be key in strengthening Indonesia’s green economy and climate resilience.
The DINFRA CRF, developed in partnership with Indonesia's Ministry of Finance, aims to pool investments from diverse sources, including green bonds and private equity. By aligning with international standards and leveraging government incentives, the fund will mobilize private sector investment for climate action and sustainable development. The fund's activities are expected to result in the reduction of 128 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030, directly supporting Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
