Abstract
For Indonesia, one of the hardest challenges in regards to green jobs, is to find a balance between the three stated targets of the government, namely, 1) the target to reduce greenhouse gases by 26% (or 41% with international assistance) by 2020, 2) to meet economic growth of 7.7% by 2014, and 3) to create 11.7 million jobs between 2010 and 2014.
Indonesia has made some steps forward for creating a greener future with the development of policy and/or framework in areas such as the environment, eco-tourism, green industry, and sustainable energy.
It is therefore recommended that FES approaches its 'green jobs' efforts with a two points strategy: one directed at the policy level and the other at the project implementation phase.
The coordination mechanism across ministries and between government levels in the decentralised era is creating enormous challenges in regards to standardising policy, program alignment, and effective implementation methods.
