Abstract

This technical report covers the technical analysis of the technical annex submitted on a voluntary basis, in the context of results-based payments, by Indonesia on 20 December 2021 through its third biennial update report in accordance with decision 14/CP.19.

         Indonesia reported the results of implementing these activities for 2018–2020, which amount to 577,449,160 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and were measured against the assessed FREL.

The data and information provided in the technical annex are in overall accordance with the guidelines contained in decision 14/CP.19, annex. The technical analysis concluded that the data and information provided by Indonesia in the technical annex are transparent and consistent with the data and information used for establishing the assessed FREL in accordance with decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 71(b), and decision 12/CP.17, section II. This report contains the findings from the technical analysis and a few areas identified for capacity-building and future technical improvement in accordance with decision 14/CP.19, paragraph 14.
