**Program Overview:**

WRI Indonesia is an independent research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. At WRI Indonesia, we aim to bring innovations in research and business approaches in order to create the enabling conditions for Indonesia to achieve robust economic growth while respecting environmental and social values. We seek to contribute to the accomplishment of ambitious sustainable development goals through working with leaders in public and private sectors, as well as collaborating with civil society organizations in turning big ideas into action.

Within our Agriculture, Forest, and Land Use (AFOLU) Program, we envision critical ecosystems such as forests and peatland across Indonesia to be governed fairly and sustainably. We believe sustainable land use management is key for Indonesia to meet its climate goal in line with keeping the global climate target below the 1.5-degree Celsius warming threshold while providing sustainable livelihoods to forest-dependent communities and conserve biodiversity in the landscape.

To achieve Indonesia's climate goal while at the same time improving the livelihood of the communities and protecting biodiversity, we work together with partners to mainstream nature-based solutions (NbS) as an approach to address the global climate challenge. We aim to achieve this through research, policy advocacy, and the creation of a community of practice to develop a new financing model for forest conservation, advocate regulatory framework that is conducive for NbS approach, and develop a multi-stakeholder platform to amplify and accelerate NbS approach in Indonesia and the Southeast Asia region.
