Country Report of Indonesia
FNCA Ministerial Meeting 2015

CLIMATE CHANGE AND
ROLE OF NUCLEAR SCIENCEAND TECHNOLOGYHE MINISTER PROF. MOHAMAD NASIR, PHD. AK, HON.DOC.ED.
THE MINISTRY OF RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND HIGHEREDUCATION OF INDONESIACLIMATE CHANGE POLICY-1• Indonesia is an archipelagic country, consists of more than 13
thousands islands, and having population around 255 461.70
million (2015).
(http://www.bps.go.id/linkTabelStatis/view/id/1274), with 1.49%
growth rate per year
• Indonesia views its development pathway towards climate
resilience as consistent with its commitment to contribute to theglobal effort for achieving Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). For this development, the Indonesian Ministry ofResearch and Technology, are working in synergy with the focal
point of climate change program in Indonesia, which is theMinistry of Environment and Forestry.

CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY-2• In 2009, Indonesia voluntarily pledged to reduce Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions by 26% on its own efforts, and up to 41%
with international support, against the business as usual scenarioby 2020,• Indonesia has promulgated relevant legal and policyinstruments, including the national action plan on GHG emissions
reduction as stipulated in Presidential Regulation (PERPRES) No.
61/2011 and GHG inventory through Presidential Regulation
No.71/2011.
• The current Indonesia’s strategic goals, known as Nawa Cita (orNine Agenda Priorities), includes priorities which are consistent
with the national commitment to climate change resilienceCLIMATE CHANGE POLICY-3• On the commemoration of the 43rd of the World Environment
Day, 5 June 2015, as established by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP), with its theme “Seven Billion
Dreams, One Planet, Consume With Care”, During that time,
Indonesia announced that the Index of Environment Quality(Indeks Kualitas Lingkungan Hidup) of 2014, is 63.42. This
number is expected to be improved into 66.5 – 68.5 in 2019.
• http://www.menlh.go.id/laporan-menteri-lingkungan-hidupdan-kehutanan-pada-peringatan-lingkungan-hidup-sedunia5-juni-2015/• Therefore, Indonesia considers “climate change mitigation”
and “adaptation efforts”, as an integrated concept that isessential for building resilience in safeguarding Food, Waterand Energy sources.

ROLE OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE ANDTECHNOLOGY - ENERGY• Indonesia has embarked on mixed
energy use policy. President
Regulation 79 year 2014 onNational Energy Policy promotes
the use of new and renewableenergy sources and targeted atleast 23% of total energy sources
used

Government Regulation No. 79 year 2014

• Nuclear energy is part of new andrenewable energy• Nuclear is an option in National EnergyPolicy• Site study in South and West Bangka(2011-2013) has been conducted byBATAN and PT PLN and showed that twosites fulfill all criteria and could host 4 and6 units of 1000 MWe NPP, respectively

ROLE OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE ANDTECHNOLOGY –AGRICULTURE• To support adaptation of agriculture sector development to theclimate change, nuclear technology is also being used todevelop new varieties of Rice plants? which tolerant to multiple
stress through mutation breeding.

ROLE OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE ANDTECHNOLOGY –ENVIRONMENT• Nuclear technique can be utilized forinvestigating groundwater dynamics
and recharge rate for sustainablegroundwater resource management

applied to study climatechange through analysis ofstable isotopes in massive
coral existing in Indonesia

FUTURE ROLE OF FNCA
• FNCA continues to pursue the cooperation to promote thenuclear technology utilization for supporting the sustainable
development in each participating countries• FNCA continues to support the development of humanresources capacity in the field of nuclear science andtechnology• FNCA Project activity should reflect the common needs ofthe participating countries• Information and knowledge sharing should be conducted ineach project for benefit of all participating countries• Where ever possible, cooperation with other nuclear activity
projects in the region, such as IAEA regional cooperative
projects, would be plausible
