Background

Indonesia signed the Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC, United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Rio in 1992, which was then ratified in 1994 through Law no. 6/1994. Under this framework, Indonesia, which is a non-Annex 1 country, is committed to fully implementing the convention. Under one of the requirements of the convention, Indonesia has to report its activities aimed at addressing the climate change to the UNFCCC through the National Communication on Climate Change. The National Communication contains information on national circumstances, GHG inventory and projection, mitigation action plan (including related cost, expected funding and relevant policies), vulnerability and adaptation assessment (including action plan for adaptation, related costs, expected funding and relevant policies), institutional arrangement, and plan for improvement of future national communication.

Following the Decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 60, the Conference of the Parties decided to enhance the reporting in national communications, including inventories from non-Annex I Parties, on mitigation actions and their effects, and support received. In this regards as defined in the Decision 2/CP.17, the non-Annex I Parties should also submit Biennial Update Report (BUR) consistent with their capabilities and the level of support provided for reporting. The Purpose of the BUR is to provide an update to the most recently submitted National Communication. The BUR will provide: (i) updates of national GHG inventories including a national inventory report; (ii) information on mitigation actions including a description, analysis of the impacts and associated methodologies and assumptions, progress in implementation and information on domestic measurement, reporting and verification; and (iii) needs and support received. Indonesia is now preparing its First BUR and the Third National Communication (TNC).

Information collected at regular periods on the level, status and trends of changes in GHG emissions and uptake including carbon storage in Indonesia. Presidential Decree 71/2011 mandates GHG emissions inventory to the level of district/city.
