The document describes Indonesia's climate tracking system. It defines climate-related activities and outlines Indonesia's system for compiling data on domestic and international public climate finance from its national budget, local government budgets, and international development partners. The system involves setting definitions, applying the definitions to identify climate-related activities, and verifying the coding with agencies. The tracking system could be enhanced by improving climate finance tagging in budgets and reporting on flows to better manage domestic and international funds.

3. BACKGROUND
1. INTERNAL FACTORS:
* accountability and transparancy
• quality of spending with Performance based Budgeting system
• Fiscal Policy Credibility with the Green Planning and Budgeting
Strategy
2. EXTERNAL FACTORS:
* pilot countries for mitigations and biodiversity Financial Initiative
* Donor coordinations and effectiveness

4. DEFINITION
Climate Change related activities:
• Only activities that directly or indirectly reduce greenhouse gas
emissions or increase resilience to climate change, and
• Activities in which the reduction of GHG emissions related to
climate resilience or activities specified in the documentation of
the program as a destination or a benefit (such as output
indicators).
• For public expenditures through Ministries’ Budget plan are
classified to direct and non direct activities, both are tagged.
• 2 classification of public expenditures related to climate are :
a. National Budget
b. Sub-national Budget

6. DEFINITION (2)
Does not include activities:
1. manufacturing / production equipment for the generation of
renewable energy and R & D activities for these technologies;
2. fuel conversion: a shift from coal or oil to gas in energy production;
3. increase the efficiency of power plants to fossil fuels;
4. technology-based co-production of fossil fuels that generate
electricity in addition to providing cooling / heating;
5. manufacturing / production equipment that is more efficient and R
& D activities for green technology;
6. the addition / expansion of the road network to reduce traffic;
7. application of speed limits on the highway to reduce emissions in
the driving / driving.

7. DEFINITION (3)

8. 8
all activities related to research,
management data and documentation of
biodiversity, management ownership for
country;
all activities related to development benefits
of biodiversity to support national
competitiveness economic growth and
social welfare.
All activities related to maintenance,
protection and restoration of biodiversity
All activities related to enhance the
capacity of managing biodiversity
integrated and partisipatif approach
DEFINITION (4)
Based on IBSAP, activities for biodiversiy can be
classified into 4 types, each type can be consist of :
a. Direct Cost : all activities which have direct
impact to biodiversity based on each
classificaton
b. Indirect Cost : all activities which have not
direct impact to biodiversity but give support
to main activity implementation

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS/ODA
The DAC defines ODA as “those flows to countries and territories on the Development Assistance
Committee (DAC) List of ODA Recipients and to multilateral institutions which are:
i. provided by official agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive
agencies; and
ii. each transaction of which:
a. is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of
developing countries as its main objective; and
b. is concessional in character and conveys a grant element of at least 25% (calculated at
a rate of discount of 10%)
3 different characteristics of International fund flows:
1. On Budget - On Treasury (recommended by Ministry of Finance)
2. On Budget – Off Treasury
3. Off Budget – On Treasury
4. Off Budget – Off Treasury

10. Collected data on disbursements of public climate
finance in 2011
 coded 12 000 lines of state budget for 11 key ministries
 checked databases on intl. climate finance
 surveyed 25 international development partners
 reviewed national data on local government transfers and a
case study for one region
 literature review of 46 state-owned enterprises
 conducted many interviews with stakeholders.

THE LANDSCAPE FRAMEWORK

12. At what level budget marking for climate expenditure
should be done?
Agreed  at the activity level
In reality  expenditure items e.g. related to RAN GRK
are scattered under different activities
Example from KPH, two activities:
 2283 Pemantauan Usaha Kehutanan  6 out of 609
expenditure items – based on component
 2287 Program Peningkatan Usaha Kawasan  21 out of 60
expenditure items – based on component

Not clear whether/when OECD disbursement data will be sufficiently
robust in the future.
National databases:
General reporting and tracking systems are in place, but need to be
enhanced by climate markers,
Improve reporting so the government can better oversee and manage
flows.

19. CONCLUSION (1)
Enhance
tracking &
reporting
Scale up
climate
finance Address blockages in flows to and
through national funds, multilateral
devt partners, revolving funds and
local transfers.
Develop the self compliances for
implementators and strengthen the
systems for tagging of climate finance
in the national budget.
Improve administration and reporting
of international climate finance so the
government canoversee and manage
flows through the country system
Enhance information on local
government, we are currently working
to develop the budget tagging system
for local govt.
