To support Indonesia’s efforts to scale-up its climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts, the Flood Impacts, Carbon Pricing, and Ecosystem Sustainability (FINCAPES) project was launched earlier this week in Jakarta. Faculty of Environment researchers working together with colleagues in the Faculty of Mathematics and partners in Indonesia will explore carbon pricing and trading, and nature-based solutions to assist Indonesia with building a low-carbon economy and a healthier, more sustainable future.
