The impact of UN-Habitat and ICLEI cooperation through Urban-LEDS program towards the development of low-emission cities in Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract This study indicates that there are several supporting factors and challenges encountered in the implementation of Urban-LEDS in Indonesia. The supporting factors cover: (1) the initial involvement of Indonesia in its global commitments related to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as Indonesia’s ratification of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Kyoto Protocol, entailing the efforts on mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emission; (2) the existence of regional planning and policies suited with the conditions and requirements of targeted cities of low-emission city development; and (3) multiple parties collaboration aiming to increase institutional capacity to carry out low emissions development. The biggest challenge of Urban-LEDS implementation, however, remains on the absence of regulation catering to the over-usage of motorized vehicles.
