Indonesia’s 2021 climate pledge under the Paris Agreement was to reduce emissions from 2020-2030 by 29%. This was an increased unconditional commitment compared to the 2010 pledge of 26%. The baseline for measuring these cuts is the 2030 business as usual scenario, which would feature hefty increases in emissions.
