**Program Overview**- The Climate Program at WRI focuses on the technical, economic, and social benefits of climate action, as well as the cost of inaction to support country transitions toward net zero emissions as outlined in the Paris Agreement, that is just, inclusive and leave no one behind. At the global level, we are working on several main areas: (1) stepping up national climate action while building economies that are cleaner, more equitable and offer better quality of jobs; (2) advancing international climate action through international cooperation on climate change to implement the Paris Agreement and make ambitious, equitable climate action a reality; (3) providing national governments, cities and companies with tools and resources to track progress toward their climate goals and strengthen accountability for existing climate commitments; and (4) tracking progress toward climate goals and supporting equity and development goals in the transition to a net zero emissions while ensuring that the transition will bring more just and equitable society.At national level we work collaboratively with the government to design ambitious climate action plans that align with long-term climate goals and national development plans through research, policymaking processes, and climate negotiations. We also support businesses, civil society, local governments, and other non-state actors as they pursue their own emissions-reduction and adaptation goals. We have built various climate tools to inform good decision making and ensure accountability for existing commitments, as well as tracking progress on climate action.Currently, we are working in several areas to increase climate ambition at national, regional and global level. As Indonesia has committed to reduce GHG emissions by 31.89% (unconditional) and 43.2% (conditional) by 2030, there are several initiatives within WRI Indonesia which require leadership role and specific expertise on climate financing, including to improve Indonesia long term climate action strategy, preparing the 2nd National Determined Contributions (NDC), leverage climate ambitions on Indonesia-China trade cooperation - focusing on two commodities, i.e. palm oil and nickel, and raising climate ambition and developing low carbon and net zero emissions strategies at provincial level.**J**ob Highlight**- The Climate Finance and Sustainable Trade Senior Lead will play pivotal role in driving initiatives related to sustainable trade, climate finance and sustainable investment in Indonesia, within the climate-energy-cities and ocean deputyship at WRI Indonesia.
