Job Description

Brief information on the project

The Climate and Biodiversity Hub Indonesia project aims to support the Indonesian government in strengthening the mainstreaming and implementation of its climate and biodiversity policy. The project is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and consists of two components: (1) The Climate Impact Response and Biodiversity Management Planning in Indonesia (ClimB) component focuses on support for BAPPENAS and (2) the Climate and Biodiversity (CLARITY) component collaborates closely with KLHK. This project also has an additional function as an IKI interface project called ‘IKI Hub Indonesia’ to manage the overall coordination and networking across all IKI-funded projects in Indonesia.

The implementation agreement between GIZ and KLHK has been signed on 15 March 2022. In cooperation with the Directorate General Climate Change (DGCC) and Directorate of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation (DGNREC), the project aims to strengthen the policy framework that creates the enabling conditions for more effective and cohesive implementation of climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity conservation measures in Indonesia.

Context

The Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) has established the Rumah Kolaborasi Konsultasi Iklim dan Karbon (RKKIK) in 2023 to facilitate collaboration and consultation on climate change and carbon economics. RKKIK supports the implementation of Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the development of a robust carbon market.

RKKIK plays a crucial role in supporting the implementation of Indonesia’s climate action goals. This involves creating a framework for the issuance and trading of GHG emission reduction certificates. It expected to provide the technical guidance and support to project developers on methodologies, data collection, and reporting requirements for obtaining GHG emission reduction certificates.

GIZ, through the Climate and Biodiversity Project (CLARITY), will hire a consultant to support the process of issuance of GHG emission reduction certificate in RKKIK.
