As a large blue carbon country, Indonesia can play a strategic role in engaging with the global agenda, such as through the Paris Agreement, Aichi Biodiversity Targets and SDGs by implementing its own national agenda. Coordinated implementation has been a challenge, but putting the common issues on a higher platform such as the medium-term development plan (known as RPJM), provides the promise of good outcomes. Work and budget programs of the line ministries of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and Home Affairs, may well be guided by the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime and Agency of Development Planning (BAPPENAS) using the existing regulatory framework.
