National Target 4: Establishment of increased availability and implementation of policies supporting sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in the utilization of biodiversity resources
()
Indonesia
The National Target 4 was prepared to comply with the Aichi Target (AT) 4 framework as a reference for formulating a number of action plans and activity programs that have been adapted to national conditions and needs to develop sustainable patterns of production and consumption.
Sustainable development has been implemented in Indonesia starting from preparation of long-term development missions, mainstreaming the medium-term development, to the implementation through various government programs and activities. The National Target 4 was established in light of the needs for a more systematic approach to the sustainable development. These needs, among others, are (1) sustainable development which is explained in tangible terms - stages and milestones, (2) linkages between each stage and criteria/characteristic/measure to reliably assess progress in each step, which is (3) in line with population growth and fulfilment of welfare through sustainable production-consumption and economic growth, (4) the management of waste from human activities that exceeding nature’s capabilities of absorption and maintenance, (5) declining non-renewable resources while considering the growing population and consumption, and (6) the availability of quantity and quality of the nature and renewable resources to meet the growing needs and consumptions

The formulation of National Targets was carried out in a participatory manner through (1) evaluation and mapping of suitability and implementation of the IBSAP 2003-2020; (2) as a whole, formulating action plans and programs for achieving national and global targets by updating data and information regarding the current status of Indonesian biodiversity and key documents such as the National Medium-Term Development Plan 2015-2019 and Government Work Plan in 2015 which are published by five Ministries/Government institutions, i.e. the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forestry (since January 2015, both ministries have merged and became the Ministry of Environment and Forestry), the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI); and (3) consultations, as the results of identification of national targets along with the action plans and programs, with relevant biodiversity experts, biodiversity managers in Ministries/Agencies, Regional Governments, private sector/biodiversity actors, and civil society organizations through various workshops, seminars, focus group discussions during the period 2013 - 2014 at the national level and some in the regional level (KemenPPN/BAPPENAS, 2016, pp. 17-19).
Policies related to Responsible Production and Consumption have been initiated by the government in the document of 10-Year Sustainable Consumption and Production Framework in Indonesia 2013-2023 which contains Indonesia's roadmap in implementing Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP), and policies listed in the 2015-2019 RPJMN. The vision of the 10-Year Sustainable Consumption and Production Framework in Indonesia 2013-2023 (10 Years of SCP Indonesia) is to enable the implementation of SCP in Indonesia's national development agenda, with an orientation to improving the quality of life for Indonesian people through environmentally friendly and sustainable changes in production and consumption behavior. The mission of 2013 - 2023 SCP Indonesia 10 Years to become the first stage of integration of SCP implementations in several "Quick Wins" national programs and provides a model for the integration of SCP implementations in other national programs.
The implementation of the SCP is also strengthened in the 2015-2019 RPJMN document with the introduction of sustainable production and consumption patterns as the Post 2015 and Climate Change Agenda, and the National Development Agenda with policies aimed at implementing sustainable production and consumption patterns as an effort to efficiently use resources and reduce environmental pollution and improve communities quality of life. This step is supported by operational policies, which are:
· Changes in patterns of production and consumption as well as people's lifestyles through education and campaigns;
· Implementation of the principles of sustainable production and consumption patterns in the business cycle and business process;
· Development of product standards that are environmentally friendly; and
· Public services in the implementation of sustainable consumption patterns.
