This book demonstrates the challenges and opportunities of climate
change actions in developing countries and primarily focuses on
case studies in Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous
country. The most important feature of the book is its examination
of multiple facets of climate change issues in Indonesia, which
allows readers to understand the complexity of climate change in
developing countries: the synergies and trade-offs between
different climate change actions as well as between climate and
development priorities. Another unique feature is that it was
jointly written by Indonesian and international authors, as well as
by academics and development practitioners. This book addresses
questions concerning mitigation measures in major sectors with
original analyses of aspects including energy subsidies, sectoral
energy efficiencies in manufacturing sectors, forest concessions,
energy-saving labeling schemes, policy mixes for the urban
transportation sector, and the introduction of waste-to-energy
technologies.

The book provides first-hand knowledge and data on energy and the
institutional realities in Indonesia, which are not widely and
readily available to an international audience. It offers a
valuable reference guide for professionals working for
governments and NGOs and donor agencies in the fields of climate
change and development in developing countries. This work is also
a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students of
economics and environmental and development studies, in
particular those who are interested in the synergies and
conflicts between climate change and development.
