For many years, Indonesia has partnered with Norway under a results-based contribution (RBC) funding arrangement. The arrangements have been that Indonesia receives payments for reducing CO2 emissions from the Norwegian Government.
During the first phase of the partnership agreements, Indonesia received around 570 million NOK for reducing 11.2 million tons of CO2 between 2016 and 2017. For phases 2 and 3, the combined payout was around 1 billion NOK for a reduction of 20 million tons of CO2 between 2017 and 2019.
Now, Indonesia’s partnership with the Norwegian Government is entering its fifth phase, and the two countries are negotiating payments. The Indonesian news organisation ANTARA is reporting that negotiations for phase 5 of the partnership could result in payments of around 1 trillion rupiah, or around 600 million NOK.
The Indonesian Forestry Minister, Raja Juli Antoni, has expressed further support for foreign help with emission reduction and forest rehabilitation during a press conference on 12 August 2025.
Indonesia has also received payments for a new partnership with the Green Climate Fund of around 103.78 million USD for reducing emissions and forest rehabilitation efforts. This payment reflected a verified reduction of 20.25 million tons of CO2 in the forestry sector between 2014 and 2016.
