Description:
The objective of this Country
Environmental Analysis (CEA) is to highlight the underlying
challenges and opportunities for Indonesia's
environment and management of its natural resources in order
to guide the World Bank support to Indonesian institutions
for more sustainable development. Rather, the CEA sets the
broader context (chapter one) and economic costs of
environmental degradation (chapter two) in order to identify
underlying challenges and opportunities. These are divided
into two sets of priorities those related to environmental
governance and those that are more sectoral in nature.
Environmental governance encompasses the decentralized
framework for environmental management (chapter three),
enabling policies for greater environment and resource
sustainability (chapter four) and building environmental
constituencies (chapter five). The sectoral challenges that
are most important for Indonesian development are
vulnerability to climate change (chapter six), land use and
climate change (chapter seven) and energy and climate change
(chapter eight). The report concludes with options for a
more sustainable Indonesia, including recommendations for
how the World Bank can more effectively invest in light of
the CEA findings (chapter nine).
