        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry is exploring cooperation with Emergent Forest Finance Accelerator to access international climate finance for emissions reduction. The partnership aims to support Jurisdictional REDD+ implementation and sustainable forest management. The agreement, signed during London Climate Action Week 2026, builds on Indonesia's track record of securing verified emissions reductions through the World Bank-backed FCPF programme.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry (Kemenhut) and Emergent Forest\nFinance Accelerator, Inc.\u00a0are exploring cooperation opportunities to\nsupport emissions reduction efforts in Indonesia\u2019s forestry sector,\nparticularly through the Jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+) funding approach.\nForestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni stated that this cooperation is part\nof Indonesia\u2019s efforts to broaden access to international climate\nfinance to support the achievement of national climate targets whilst\nstrengthening sustainable forest management and improving community\nwelfare. \u201cWe welcome the cooperation with Emergent as an opportunity to\nexplore various international climate finance mechanisms that can\nsupport the implementation of Jurisdictional REDD+ in Indonesia,\u201d said\nMinister Raja Juli Antoni in a statement received in Jakarta on Friday.\nThe understanding signed on the sidelines of London Climate Action Week\n2026 reflects the commitment of both parties to continue constructive\ndiscussions on various opportunities and support for mobilising climate\nfinance for the protection and sustainable management of forests in\nIndonesia. The discussions include the potential utilisation of verified\nemissions reduction results through the Forest Carbon Partnership\nFacility (FCPF) as well as results-based payments and other climate\nfinance schemes through various high-integrity international standards\nand mechanisms. The Minister assessed that Indonesia has a strong track\nrecord in forest protection and restoration. Through the World\nBank-supported FCPF programme, Indonesia has successfully generated\nverified emissions reductions and secured climate finance amounting to\n110 million US dollars. This experience, he continued, serves as an\nimportant foundation for Indonesia to explore new opportunities in\ncarbon markets and high-integrity results-based payment schemes.\nFurthermore, Minister Raja Juli Antoni affirmed that Indonesia continues\nto strengthen the foundation of national carbon governance through\nvarious policies and regulatory reforms. The government is building a\ncredible, transparent, and accountable carbon market infrastructure to\nincrease investor confidence and ensure that environmental and social\nbenefits are tangibly felt by the community. \u201cIndonesia is committed to\ndelivering measurable and verified emissions reductions, whilst\ngenerating benefits for biodiversity and communities living around\nforest areas through sustainable forest management,\u201d he said. Meanwhile,\nPresident and CEO of Emergent, Eron Bloomgarden, expressed his\nappreciation for Indonesia\u2019s leadership in tropical forest protection\nand climate change mitigation efforts. \u201cWith one of the largest tropical\nforest areas in the world, Indonesia\u2019s efforts in developing\nJurisdictional REDD+ provide an important opportunity to reduce\nemissions on a large scale whilst protecting biodiversity and supporting\nforest-dependent communities,\u201d said Bloomgarden.<\/p>",
