Raising ambition – enhancing the NDC target and achieving SDG 7
Based on key global benchmarks for the Paris Agreement 1.5°C compatible pathways, a rapid decline of GHG and CO2 emissions by 45% compared with 2010 levels is to be achieved by 2030. This refers to an emission reduction of 18% compared with BAU, a target beyond its current conditional NDC target. Enhancing NDCs is possible and achievable in all the ambitious scenarios, as well as the SDG scenario. The reduction in CO2-e emission is due to an integrated framework for achieving SDG 7 and NDC targets.
Policies to support the decarbonisation of electricity generation will help to achieve Paris Agreement targets and increase renewables. Based on socio-economic and environmental benefits, it is suggested that Indonesia should aspire to achieving emission reductions beyond the NDC target by stopping new investment in coal-fired power generation. Because investment in coal-fired generation is no longer a cheaper option for power generation, the costs of renewables such as solar PV, wind, hydropower and geothermal have dropped significantly.
* This recommendation is generally applicable across all ambitious scenarios.
