ENG - UN CC:Learn

UNDP is engaged in a series of consultations and projects to ensure that important steps
to manage natural resources, while protecting the environment, are taken. Operating
both at government levels and among grassroots organizations, the projects of the
Environment Management Programme of UNDP aim to improve citizens’ access to
environmental information, to work with business interests toward more sustainable
production methods, and to help ensure Indonesia’s environmental laws remain relevant
and enforced. 3 The very fact that so many diverse nations, as well as various segments
of society share commitments on how to address some of the most difficult issues
is by itself an achievement.

PORTFOLIO
Bo Asplund, Resident Representative
UNDP through its GEF and Capacity 2015 programmes is supporting the Government to assess institutional capacity to effectively
achieve the environmental and development goals as stated by the multilateral environmental agreements, to support a series of strategic
regional sustainable development plans, alongside capacity building programmes, and to collaborate with other nations who are
working toward the sustainable management of the Arafura and Timor Seas.
The focus of UNDP’s support to ensure access to sustainable energy resources is on opening the market potential of micro-hydro power
in Indonesia, and encouraging economically sound usage of this type of energy. For example, the GEF funded project on wide-scale sustainable
utilization of the micro-hydro resource for power generation is expected to bring power supply benefits, livelihood opportunities
and environmental sustainability.
In order to achieve sustainable impact at all levels UNDP and Indonesia have worked together under the Montreal Protocol compliance
programme for more than ten years. Approximately seventy projects have been successfully developed covering the foams, refrigeration,
aerosols and solvents sectors, while continuous support is provided through institutional strengthening initiatives. Equipment,
training and technical assistance is made available through implementation of the sectoral phase-out plans in the refrigeration servicing
and manufacturing sub-sectors. Additionally, a national strategy that aims at phasing-out the use of CFCs in the aerosol sector is
being implemented.
