The UK Government, through the British Embassy in Jakarta, supports the Government of Indonesia in accelerating sustainable infrastructure. This partnership is realised through Melaju – which means accelerate in Bahasa – a collaborative platform that brings together key stakeholders to collaborate on policy, project development, investment mobilization, and knowledge-sharing.

Melaju supports Indonesia's transition towards a 2060 pathway that is net zero, nature-positive, just and inclusive. It promotes full access to clean energy, green infrastructure, and net zero technology, in line with Indonesia’s own ambition on infrastructure and urban development as outlined in the 2060 Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience

The UK and Indonesia share a commitment to tackling climate change and building sustainable cities. Within the UNFCCC framework, adaptation has been recognised as a priority for climate-vulnerable countries. Indonesia demonstrated leadership by becoming the first to submit its Adaptation Communication (ADCOM) under the Paris Agreement, outlining its priorities, gaps, and financing needs for adaptation.

To build on this progress, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) through the British Embassy in Jakarta works in partnership with Indonesia and other development partners in the Melaju Platform. This collaboration supports urban development, infrastructure planning, and financing, through initiatives such as:

• Future Cities Infrastructure Programme (FCIP)
• Green Cities, Infrastructure and Energy Programme (GCIEP)
• UK PACT
• Capacity building for the Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA)
