The UK Government, through the British Embassy in Jakarta, supports the Government of Indonesia in accelerating sustainable infrastructure. This partnership is realised through Melaju (‘accelerate’ in Bahasa Indonesia,) a collaborative platform that brings together key stakeholders to collaborate on policy, project development, investment mobilization, and knowledge-sharing.

Melaju supports Indonesia’s transition towards a net zero, nature-positive, just and inclusive future. It promotes full access to clean energy, green infrastructure, and net zero technology, in line with Indonesia’s own ambitions on infrastructure and urban development as outlined in the 2060 Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience.

The UK and Indonesia share a commitment to tackling climate change and building sustainable cities. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement recognise adaptation as a core pillar of climate action, with particular emphasis on supporting climate-vulnerable developing countries. Indonesia has submitted its Adaptation Communication (ADCOM) under the Paris Agreement, outlining its adaptation priorities, strategies, and needs.

To build on this progress, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) through the British Embassy in Jakarta works in partnership with Indonesia and other development partners in the Melaju Platform. This collaboration supports urban development, infrastructure planning, and financing, through initiatives such as:

• Future Cities Infrastructure Programme (FCIP)
• Green Cities, Infrastructure and Energy Programme (GCIEP)
• UK PACT
• Capacity building for the Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA)
