This was an increased unconditional commitment compared to the 2010 pledge of 26%. In late 2022, Indonesia nudged its goals upward to 32% below BAU, and (41% to 43% below BAU with foreign assistance). The baseline for measuring these cuts is the 2030 business as usual scenario, which would feature hefty increases in emissions.
