Background:


For most ASEAN Member Countries, natural resources are critical assets in development, and Indonesia is no exception. Indonesia’s recognition of the importance of sustainable use of its resources has been growing substantially since 2004, when the ’Long-term Development Plan 2005-2025’ underlined the need to achieve a “green and ever-lasting Indonesia”. This was further stressed by the current ‘Medium-term Development Plan’ (2010-2014), which contains specific policies and goals on mainstreaming sustainable development as well as natural resource and environmental management. This Plan addresses 10 major challenges for the country, one being ‘Effective Management of Natural Resources’. Based on these principles several SCP initiatives have been launched by the Government and the private sector, e.g. a Clean Energy Initiative, development of eco-labelling systems, a policy for green public procurement, and criteria for Environmentally Sound Technologies.
