Program Overview
The Low Carbon
Development Initiative (LCDI) is a major undertaking by Indonesia’s Ministry of
Planning (BAPPENAS) aimed to mainstream principles of sustainable development
in policy making. It relies on the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA or
KLHS), a methodological framework that pursues a change of paradigm away from
an old unsustainable model of utilization of natural resources and of reliance
on high carbon emission sources of energy; and into a new sustainable model
that preserves the country’s vast natural capital base, while shifting towards
renewable, low carbon sources of energy. The LCDI provides analytical inputs to
Indonesia’s Medium-term Development Plan, RPJMN 2020-2024, under what is known
as the Technocratic Process; and to the country’s long-term development vision
(Indonesia Vision 2045). Inputs are presented in the form of low carbon,
sustainable development policies, interventions and investments, based on the
understanding of the feedback relationships between climate systems, the
environment and the socio-economy.
The analytical work of
LCDI has offered insights not only on the actions for moving into a path of low
carbon development, but also on the expected co-benefits derived from climate
action. Results of the analysis show unequivocal gains in terms of value
addition, employment, and welfare indicators, associated with a transition to
low carbon systems and a growth model that preserves the country’s natural
capital, including forests, biodiversity and water resources. Moreover, such
gains can be expected to occur even in the short to medium term, in as much as
actions identified under the LCDI are applied efficiently and with sufficient
force and coherence, so that no trade-offs are generally expected from
embracing low carbon policies.
Lessons and insights
from LCDI must now be transmitted to and embraced by a large group of
stakeholders at the national and at the provincial level; so that Indonesian
society at large becomes not only aware of, but also motivated to contribute to
the LCDI agenda. This is with the understanding that a successful transition to
a low carbon development paradigm requires bold action not only from the
national and regional government, but also from private sector and individuals
across the country. This is particularly important considering the substantive
effort required to move into a low carbon development path that is consistent
with the Paris target to keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius and
aiming for 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Looking ahead, there
are multiple modeling analysis using system dynamics approach to be carried out
for the next 18 months, including:
1)
Develop analytical input that are
relevant for LCDI policy implementation, including policy sectoral analysis and
financing schemes as well as investment needed at national level;
2)
Enhance the carrying capacity component
of the model to incorporate environmental economics accounts, biodiversity
sector, blue carbon data, air pollution and water resources;
3)
Develop capacity for modeling low carbon
development policies at provincial levels (such as West Papua, Riau, and South
Sulawesi)
Job Responsibilities
The consultant will work under the New Climate
Economy work funded by the UK Climate Change Unit (UKCCU), Ministry of National
Development Planning (Bappenas), and World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia

Indonesia as part of the technocratic process that supports RPJMN 2020-2024 and
its implementation; and of contributing to the LCDI policy implementation at
LCDI target provinces. In addition, the Consultant will contribute in the
process of communication and capacity building of Government officials from the
Provincial level and other stakeholders, in order to improve their
understanding and capabilities to assess LCDI actions for policy implementation
Activities
The following activities will be carried on by
the Consultant, in close consultations with BAPPENAS Environment Directorate
and LCDI secretariat team:
1)
Support the review of existing LCDI Spatial
Model, baseline, and LCDI scenarios, and assess the relations between the
economy and carrying capacity of the environment;
2)
Assist the refinement of Spatial Analysis Model
to complement with the LCDI System Dynamics Model with tools and methods for
integrated climate – development policy analysis and supporting BAPPENAS in the
process of generating policy scenarios to implement RPJMN 2020-2024, including:
- Incorporating sectoral analysis at national level;
- Incorporating Environmental Economics Accounts;
- Enhance biodiversity sector, blue carbon data, and water resources element;
3)
Lead the development of spatial and carrying
capacity analysis LCDI Model at LCDI target provinces to include LCDI policy
scenarios into the development planning;
4)
Participate in selected LCDI workshops at
national and provincial levels;
5)
Provide regular updates to BAPPENAS Director of
Environment, WRI Indonesia and NCE about of the status of the process of developing
tools and methods for integrated climate – development policy analysis;
6)
Contribute to preparation of capacity building
materials and workshops on Spatial Dynamics to be conducted at provincial
level;
7)
Leads the team in the collection, processing and
evaluation of geographic data, to include vector, raster and thematic data to
enhance LCDI Spatial Model;
8)
Coordinate and collaborate with other teams
working on LCDI model, including system dynamics, dashboard, and other
provincial modelers.
