Every year, fires ravage Indonesia’s tropical rainforests and peatlands, releasing massive greenhouse gases and affecting millions across Southeast Asia. As the country battles climate change and deforestation, engaging women in forest fire management is proving transformative. Women’s leadership broadens the reach of prevention strategies and fosters more inclusive, resilient approaches to protect Indonesia’s forests and communities.

UNDP Climate
International Affairs
We work with nearly 150 countries to turn their climate goals into action.
About us
Tackling the climate crisis requires all countries to make bold pledges under the Paris Agreement, or NDCs, to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming and strengthen adaptation to its impacts. At UNDP Climate, our commitment is to ensure that any country wishing to increase the ambition of their national climate pledge is able to do so. UNDP is now scaling up its support for countries to turn their NDC targets into concrete action – while continuing to push for greater ambition. Leveraging the NDCs as an umbrella, UNDP is bringing together its extensive infrastructure, networks and breadth of substantive offers to provide comprehensive support on NDC implementation. This effort is underpinned by strong support to green COVID-19 recovery measures, as well as leveraging UNDP's strength through measures that align UNDP’s broader portfolio with the Paris Agreement and NDCs.
