Deadline: 14-Aug-26
The Integrated MRV and Super-Pollutant Governance Project supports Indonesia’s efforts to improve national systems for monitoring, reporting, and reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). The project provides an estimated funding opportunity of US$300,000 for eligible non-profit organisations working to strengthen climate governance, data systems, and transparency frameworks.
The initiative focuses on integrating SLCP monitoring into Indonesia’s greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, air-quality systems, National Registry System, carbon unit registration system, and international climate reporting commitments. It also supports the establishment of a Super Pollutant Control Unit under Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment / Environmental Protection Agency (MoE/EPA).
What is the Integrated MRV and Super-Pollutant Governance Project?

The project focuses on improving:
- Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems
- Climate data management
- Air-quality monitoring systems
- Institutional coordination
- Super-pollutant mitigation governance
The initiative responds to a request from Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment / Environmental Protection Agency (MoE/EPA) to improve national systems supporting SLCP mitigation and climate transparency.

The project will help Indonesia create stronger links between climate policy, air-quality management, and emissions reduction strategies.
Key Focus Areas
Strengthening National Coordination and Data Systems
The project will support improved coordination among institutions responsible for climate and environmental management.
Activities may include:
- Improving data-sharing mechanisms
- Strengthening institutional collaboration
- Developing coordinated approaches for SLCP management
- Enhancing national climate information systems
Integrating SLCP Monitoring into MRV and Air-Quality Systems
The project will support integration of short-lived climate pollutant monitoring into:
- National MRV systems
- Air-quality monitoring frameworks
- Greenhouse gas reporting systems
This will improve the accuracy and consistency of emissions data.
Ensuring Data Coherence and Reporting
The initiative will improve:
- Data quality
- Data consistency
- Reporting processes
- Transparency mechanisms
The project supports Indonesia’s ability to provide reliable climate information for national and international commitments.
Supporting the Super Pollutant Control Unit
The project will contribute to establishing a Super Pollutant Control Unit under MoE/EPA.
The unit will support:
- National SLCP coordination
- Policy implementation
- Data management
- Mitigation planning
- Institutional cooperation
Strengthening SLCP Mitigation Governance
The project aims to improve governance structures for reducing pollutants such as:
- Methane
- Black carbon
- Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
- Other short-lived climate pollutants
Improved governance will help coordinate mitigation actions across sectors.
Integrating SLCP MRV into National Systems
The project will support integration of SLCP measurement and reporting into:
- National Greenhouse Gas Inventory
- Air Quality System
- National Registry System
- Carbon Unit Registration System
It will also support Indonesia’s transparency commitments under:
- ASEAN frameworks
- G20 climate commitments
Support for Indonesia’s Climate Commitments
The project contributes to major national and international climate frameworks, including:
Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 2025
The project supports Indonesia’s updated climate commitments by improving emissions monitoring and mitigation planning.
Biennial Transparency Report (BTR-1, 2024)
The project strengthens Indonesia’s ability to prepare transparent climate reports under international requirements.
Presidential Regulation 110/2025
The initiative supports national governance approaches established under Indonesia’s climate policy framework.

Why It Matters
Super pollutants contribute significantly to climate change and air pollution, despite remaining in the atmosphere for shorter periods than carbon dioxide.
Strengthening SLCP governance can help Indonesia:
- Reduce climate impacts
- Improve air quality
- Strengthen emissions reporting
- Support international climate commitments
- Develop more effective mitigation strategies
Integrated data systems allow governments to make better decisions and track environmental progress.
