Introduction
Ahead of the G20 Presidency, Indonesia is increasingly
aligned and engaged with international developments
APEC 2021
The three priorities of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2021,
hosted virtually by New Zealand, were: innovation and digitally enabled
recovery; increasing inclusion and sustainability; and economic and trade
policies to strengthen recovery. These align with Indonesia's long-term
development aims: priority groups include SMEs, women, young people and
rural areas.
G20, 2021-22
At end-October 2021 the G20 committed to net zero by mid-century and
agreed to phase out coal power and fossil fuel subsidies - without a definitive
timeline. Indonesia is G20 President for 2022. With the theme Recover
Together, Recover Stronger, overarching priorities encompass inclusion and
a sustainable, green economy. Focus areas: digital transformation; inclusive
economic growth; health diplomacy, particularly with respect to Covid-19
vaccines; strengthening productivity; and sustainable finance. Indonesia will
chair ASEAN in 2023.
During G20 and COP26 President Jokowi held bilateral meetings with a
number of leaders, including US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister
Boris Johnson, France's President Emmanuel Macron, India's Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Climate finance and technology transfer from developed
nations will be key to help Indonesia meet the UN SDGs,
including climate goals
Indonesia confirmed that its target to phase out coal
has been brought forwards from 2055 to 2040, in
partnership with the Asian Development Bank and
the Philippines - and a separate partnership with
Climate Investment Fund.

The country also committed to the Global Coal to
Clean Power Transition Statement, noting it will
consider accelerating coal phase-out into the
2040s, conditional on additional international
financial and technical assistance.
2021 progress
The year saw Indonesia strengthen its
position on the global socio-economic
stage, laying the foundation for its
2022 G20 Presidency and role as
2023 ASEAN Chair. President Jokowi
received the G20 Presidency baton in
October after the group committed to
net zero by mid-century, and agreed
to phase out coal power and fossil
fuel subsidies. President Jokowi's
speech at COP26 the following week
spotlighted Indonesian efforts to slow
deforestation and promote mangrove
rehabilitation, plans to continue
mobilising climate finance and
innovative financing, and progress
towards the transition. The country's
G20 Presidency theme, Recover
Together, Recover Stronger, seeks to
accelerate international progress
towards ESG-related goals.
