TRANSITIONS PATHWAYS AND RISK ANALYSIS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES

Focusing on Indonesia for our case study, we seek to answer the following research questions: What contribution could bioenergy from sugarcane, rice and other feedstocks in Bali and East Java make to Indonesia’s climate and energy targets, as well as to the country’s sustainability objectives? What changes (institutional, market etc.) would be required in order to pursue these bioenergy transition pathways? And what would be the key enabling policies and measures to achieve these pathways’ objectives? The assessment of associated risks and opportunities are pursued throughout the case study. Secondary sources such as academic papers, reports, and regulations are limited in the areas of research for the case study. In some cases, information on these sources is not reliable and must be verified with primary research, particularly in the case of regulations which, even though published, may not necessarily be in operation. For these reasons, we prioritised the collection of primary information through stakeholder consultations and discussions in this deliverable. There are other TRANSrisk Work Packages that are piloting methods in Indonesia, such as Work Package 6 on innovation policies, which requires further primary data collection. The appendix of this report includes a summary of the first case study workshop, conducted in May 2016 in Bali, Indonesia, which is one of the main sources for primary data collection in this report.
