The 28th Conference of Parties (COP), organized by the United Nations Framework on Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC), took place in Dubai, UAE, from November 30 to December 13, 2023. The meeting was attended by 85,000 participants, including heads of state and government, representatives of national delegations, civil society organizations, the private sector, indigenous and youth representatives, philanthropy, and international organizations. In summary, COP-28 achieved several significant milestones, such as strengthening commitments to energy transition, funding for Loss & Damage, enhancing countries' resilience to climate change impacts, and providing a platform for collaboration among governments, businesses, and civil society to demonstrate real-world climate solutions.

Given the importance of COP28's achievements in climate change control, there is a pressing need to significantly enhance these efforts. The Fiscal Policy Agency, as the National Designated Authority (NDA) for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in Indonesia, organized a Post-COP 28 Talkshow with the theme "Green Collaboration for Climate Change Financing" as a platform for disseminating information to national stakeholders on December 19, 2023, at Hotel Aryaduta, Jakarta. The event was attended by various stakeholders, including government agencies, financial institutions, development partners, and universities.

In his opening remarks, Mr. Noor Syaifudin, Policy Analyst Specialist from the Fiscal Policy Agency representing NDA GCF Indonesia, emphasized the importance of active participation and collaboration to achieve Indonesia's climate targets. Information dissemination and discussions are crucial to fostering collaboration and coordination among stakeholders. Therefore, this talkshow focused on the need to improve information dissemination, encourage discussions, coordination, and collaboration, ultimately aiming to enhance the effectiveness of climate financing for national priority sectors.

Presentasi Informasi hasil pertemuan COP-28 yang disampaikan Bapak Ayudya Rachman, Analis Muda dari Pusat Keuangan Iklim dan Kebijakan Multilateral, Badan Kebijakan Fiskal mengawali sesi talkshow. Informasi yang diberikan mencakup beberapa keputusan penting seperti sinergisitas GCF dengan saluran pendanaan lain, upaya perlibatan swasta pada proyek iklim, dan dorongan aktivitas results-based payments, aktivitas terkait loss and damage, dan implementasi Simplified Approval Process (SAP) oleh GCF.

Mr. Noor Syaifudin, representing the Fiscal Policy Agency, stated that in addition to participating in several COP 28 decisions, Indonesia also exemplified good progress in development, where economic growth did not neglect Indonesia's efforts to maintain per capita emissions levels by collaborating with all stakeholders through climate programs and projects.

BPLDH juga sebagai salah satu aktor penting aksi perubahan iklim di Indonesia, seperti yang disampaikan Bapak Joko Tri Haryanto, selaku Direktur Utama BPDLH yang ikut hadir dalam sesi panel, menyampaikan bahwa pada COP-28 lalu, BPDLH berperan aktif dalam mengintegrasikan aksi, strategi, dan inovasi Indonesia terhadap perubahan iklim. BPDLH juga menunjukkan sebuah pencapaian berupa kerja sama dengan United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) untuk meluncurkan program Catalytic Funding dan program Incentivizing Mitigation Outcomes sebagai bentuk komitmen Indonesia untuk melawan perubahan iklim, mencapai target pembangunan berkelanjutan, meningkatkan dampak positif bisnis startup di bawah Indonesia Impact Fund (IIF), dan mendukung sistem harga karbon di Indonesia.

Furthermore, Mr. Josua Partogi, Environment and Social Safeguard Team Leader at PT SMI, added that as a national climate fund and project manager, PT SMI sees opportunities for ease of access to international funds. These opportunities will be assessed to support infrastructure projects that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Indonesia's National Determined Contributions (NDC).

Appreciation was expressed by Mr. Eko Nur Prihandoko, a representative from NDA GCF Indonesia, for the active participation of the participants in the closing discussion and information dissemination on COP 28. The hope is that this discussion can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of climate change financing aligned with national programs and priorities.
