Development partnership with Indonesia
To support climate-resilient communities in Indonesia, our development partnership will focus on outcomes that ensure:
- climate adaptation and resilience is strengthened, including at the community level, and through climate resilient infrastructure
- Indonesia's clean energy transition and economic decarbonisation is supported in line with Indonesia's medium-term targets and long-term goals
The Australia-Indonesia Climate and Infrastructure Partnership is the centrepiece of our support for Indonesia's energy transition and will deploy blended finance mechanisms to crowd-in private sector finance in addition to technical assistance.
Climate risks will be considered across the entirety of the development partnership so that we can meet the targets set out in Australia's International Development Policy. Disaster preparedness activities will support government and communities in effectively mitigating for, and responding to, climate-related disasters.
We will identify opportunities to work with other development partners, including multilateral banks and UN agencies to support Indonesia's climate finance and energy transition needs.
We will work to ensure our climate, gender equality, disability equity and social inclusion objectives go hand-in-hand, including through expanding government partnerships and social inclusion initiatives aimed at ensuring women, people with disabilities and vulnerable groups benefit from Indonesia's clean energy transition.

$200 million, 2022-2027
Australia is investing $200 million over five years to partner with Indonesia to promote a just energy transition in which women, people with disabilities and the marginalised participate in and benefit from the shift to net zero.

- $100 million to support Indonesia's sustainable finance and just energy transition agenda, through technical assistance, government partnerships, Australia Awards short courses and through building a coalition of Indonesian leaders to take forward the inclusive and just clean energy transition;
