The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government. We work to shape a future worth living in over 120 countries around the world.
Indonesia plays an important role in achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and in the Convention of Biological Diversity. The country is one of the ten largest greenhouse gas emitters worldwide with emissions continue to rise until 2030 according to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Moreover, Indonesia is considered to be one of the 17 mega-diverse country, with 2 of the world’s 25 hotspots, among other ranks of the world’s center of flora and fauna diversity. Prior to CBD ratification, in 1993, Bappenas and KLHK introduced the Biodiversity Action Plan for Indonesia, followed by several revised documents known as the Indonesia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP).
Indonesia suffers from biodiversity loss and species extinction, due to the impact of climate change. Besides, being an archipelagic state, Indonesia is severely impacted by the consequences of climate change. The rich and unique biodiversity of the country is threatened by unsustainable practices. Committed to tackle these challenges, the Indonesian government has been developing a climate and biodiversity policy framework.
However, it´s successful implementation requires the harmonization with national development planning, a coordinated approach of relevant actors at all levels as well as sufficient capacities and funding. An additional challenge is the Corona pandemic and the necessary measures to enable a "new normal". Since 2010, main elements of IBSAP are integrated into RPJM and RKP. In RPJM 2020-2024, climate and biodiversity policy is further emphasized as national development priority.
Against this background, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) with the Indonesian Ministry for Development Planning (BAPPENAS) and the Ministry for Environment and Forestry (KLHK) have agreed to jointly implement the Climate and Biodiversity Hub Indonesia Project. The project aims to support the Indonesian government in strengthening the mainstreaming and implementation of its climate and biodiversity policy. Policy advice, capacity building and inter-ministerial exchange will support the advancement of climate and biodiversity policy planning and implementation as well as mainstreaming with national development planning. This is accompanied by the improvement of capacities in transparent planning and reporting, strengthened resource mobilization and the sharing and exchange of knowledge with the international community. Also, the project will function as the interface of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the BMUV in Indonesia facilitating networking and communication between project implementers and with the Indonesian government.
To support implementation of the project in Indonesia, particularly for the project component under KLHK, we seek a qualified Indonesian candidate for one (1) position of
