Indonesia produced 1,866,552 gigagrams of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gg CO2e) in greenhouse gas emissions in 2019.

This data is recorded in the *Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Report and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)* released by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) in 2021.

According to the report, in 2019, national greenhouse gas emissions originated mostly from the forestry and other land use (FOLU) sector and peatland fires, namely 924,853 Gg CO2e.

The next largest emissions came from the energy sector, namely 638,808 Gg CO2e. There were also emissions from waste, agriculture, and industrial processes and product use (IPPU), with details as shown in the graph.

Cumulatively, national greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 had significantly increased compared to 2010, when the amount was only 809,982 Gg CO2e.

Given this situation, Indonesia appears to still face significant challenges in meeting its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets, namely the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as stipulated in the Paris Agreement.

According to the NDC, Indonesia is targeted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 29% below the business-as-usual scenario by 2030 through its own efforts, or to reduce emissions by 41% with international support.

Editor's Note: *This article has been revised. Previously, emissions from the FOLU sector and peatland fires were separated, leading to a misinterpretation of the data. We apologize for this error.*
