SDGs 13 (Climate Action) aims to take urgent action to combat climate change and its adverse impacts that threaten the environment, economy, and global health. SDG 13 focuses on strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related disasters through:

1. Mitigation: Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C.

2. Adaptation: Integrating climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and plans.

3. Education & Capacity: Increasing awareness and capacity of individuals and institutions in climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning.

Efforts to Accelerate Implementation in Indonesia: As of early 2026, Indonesia ranked 77th globally in the SDGs index and continues to accelerate climate action through the following steps:

1. Enhanced NDC Target (E-NDC): Indonesia is committed to reducing emissions by 31.89% on its own and up to 43.20% with international assistance by 2030.

2. Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Roadmap 2060: Developing a long-term strategy (LTS-LCCR 2050) to achieve net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner, including the phasing out of coal-fired power plants starting in 2031.

3. Carbon Market Acceleration: Through instruments such as carbon exchanges and carbon taxes, the government is encouraging industry to decarbonize to support green economic growth.

4. FOLU Net Sink 2030 Sector: Targeting the forestry and other land use sectors to absorb more emissions than they emit by 2030.

5. Food Security and Climate: Integrating social protection measures responsive to climate shocks, such as free nutritious food initiatives that connect local farmers with community resilience.

6. Ocean-Based Mitigation (Blue Carbon): Added focus on blue carbon and ocean accounting in the latest climate document to strengthen coastal ecosystem protection.
