Abstract

In order to address the challenges of climate change, international cooperation is essential, especially for large countries that contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The United States is the second largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the world after China, and Indonesia is the largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in Southeast Asia. Therefore, through the FOLU Net Sink 2030 program, the two countries have formed a partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the forestry and land use sectors, which can absorb emissions of -140 million tons of CO2e. The objective of this study is to examine initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through cooperation between the United States and Indonesia through the FOLU Net Sink 2030 program. This study employs qualitative research methods, specifically library research, supplemented by theories of international cooperation and green politics theory. The findings indicate that the collaboration between the United States and Indonesia through the FOLU Net Sink 2030 program began in 2022, with data showing a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the FOLU sector of 8.15 million tons of CO2e in 2022, in 2023, there was a fivefold decrease from the previous year, amounting to 37.77 million tons of CO2e, and in 2024, a decrease of 42.6 million tons of CO2e. The general conclusion of this study is that cooperation between the United States and Indonesia is important because it can promote low-carbon development in Indonesia nationally and serve as an international cooperation strategy to achieve global climate targets.

Abstract

Illegal logging constitutes one of the most pressing global environmental challenges, with severe consequences for ecosystem integrity and accelerating climate change. Indonesia, endowed with one of the world’s largest tropical forest estates, confronts substantial governance challenges in suppressing this illicit practice. This study investigates the roles of the Indonesian government and the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) in addressing illegal logging, employing Green Politics theory to assess the ecological sustainability orientation of Indonesia’s forest policies and Global Governance theory to evaluate UNFF’s contribution as a multilateral actor in shaping international forestry norms. The findings reveal that, despite the implementation of significant policy instruments—including the forest concession moratorium (Presidential Instruction No. 10/2011) and the Timber Legality Verification System (SVLK)—their effectiveness remains circumscribed by persistent weaknesses in law enforcement, entrenched corruption, and competing economic interests. Concurrently, UNFF contributes a global normative framework through its Non-Legally Binding Instrument (NLBI) on Sustainable Forest Management, facilitating international cooperation and technical assistance, including satellite-based forest monitoring technology transfers to Indonesia. However, the non-binding nature of UNFF’s instruments constitutes a structural limitation, reducing its capacity to compel meaningful behavioral change among member states. This study underscores the imperative of strengthened multi-stakeholder collaboration—encompassing governments, international organizations, and local communities—to overcome these governance deficits and advance effective, sustainable forest management.
