Ahead of COP31 in Antalya, Indonesia Prepares Pavilion to Attract Green Investment and Partnerships
Indonesia has begun preparing its climate diplomacy strategy ahead of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31 UNFCCC), scheduled to take place in Antalya, Turkey, from 9 to 20 November 2026. The preparations were marked by the ‘Road to COP31 UNFCCC: Indonesia Pavilion Pre-Launch and Coordination Meeting’ held at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) on Thursday, 12 June.
The event, organised by the Ministry of Environment/Bureau of Environmental Control (KLH/BPLH), served as an initial forum to align the steps of the government, businesses, academia, and civil society organisations in preparing the Indonesia Pavilion at COP31. The pavilion will function as a diplomatic tool, a platform to promote climate action, and a venue for building international partnerships.
Secretary of the Ministry of Environment/Principal Secretary of BPLH, Rosa Vivien Ratnawati, stated that COP31 is a crucial moment for Indonesia to demonstrate the tangible results of its various climate commitments. ‘Unlike previous COPs, Indonesia’s focus at COP31 is no longer on delivering commitments, but on implementation and tracking progress on those commitments, in line with the spirit of COP31 as an Implementation COP,’ Rosa Vivien said.
She explained that Indonesia’s position in global climate negotiations has strengthened following the submission of its Second Nationally Determined Contribution (SNDC) document in October 2025. However, to achieve its Net Zero Emission target by 2060 or sooner, Indonesia still requires funding support of approximately USD 472.6 billion, along with capacity building and low-carbon technology transfer.
Meanwhile, Deputy for Climate Change Control and Carbon Economic Value Governance at KLH/BPLH, Ary Sudijanto, conveyed that several strategic issues are currently being discussed at the Bonn Climate Conference (SB64), including global adaptation targets, just transition, climate mitigation, and strengthening climate finance mechanisms. The outcomes of these discussions will form an important foundation heading into COP31.
At the upcoming COP31 forum, Indonesia will not only participate in the negotiation process but will also present the Indonesia Pavilion as an instrument of soft diplomacy and a collaborative platform for climate action. The pavilion is designed to showcase Indonesia’s strategies, innovations, and achievements in climate control while opening opportunities for green investment, international cooperation, capacity building, and the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies.
Special Advisor to the Minister for Food Resources, Natural Resources, Energy, and Quality, Laksmi Widyajayanti, emphasised that this year’s pavilion is designed to be more than just an exhibition space. ‘The Indonesia Pavilion at COP31 comes with a clear purpose, as a means of soft diplomacy to voice Indonesia’s actions, strategies, and innovations to the international community. More than that, we want this pavilion to be a true collaborative platform, a place where government, businesses, academics, and civil society unite to explore opportunities, build networks, and drive concrete agreements in climate change control,’ Laksmi said.
During COP31, the Indonesia Pavilion will host a range of activities, from high-level dialogues and bilateral meetings to the Carbon Connection forum, signing of cooperation agreements, and digital exhibitions showcasing national climate action innovations and best practices. All these activities will be supported through a non-state budget financing scheme involving various strategic partners.
Through these early preparations, Indonesia hopes to strengthen its role in the global climate agenda and demonstrate that its climate control commitments have been translated into concrete action and collaboration.
