Mobilising capital for mitigation and adaptation

Climate Finance Policy

How public budgets, blended instruments and private capital can be aligned to deliver Indonesia's climate targets at the speed the science demands.

Background

Indonesia's Enhanced NDC requires roughly USD 281 billion of investment by 2030, yet current climate expenditure covers less than a third of that gap. Public budgets alone cannot close it, and private capital remains constrained by policy uncertainty, thin project pipelines and an incomplete instrument landscape.

CCSF works at the intersection of fiscal policy, capital markets and climate science to design instruments that are both bankable and credible.

The problem we work on

Three bottlenecks recur across our fieldwork: (1) climate-tagged budget lines are not traceable to outcomes; (2) sub-national governments lack the technical capacity to structure projects; and (3) de-risking instruments are concentrated in energy, leaving nature and adaptation underfunded.

Our approach

We combine national and sub-national budget tagging analysis, instrument design labs with issuers and regulators, and longitudinal tracking of deployed capital to measure what actually moves.
