UrbanShift Indonesia National-Local Dialogue

The first UrbanShift Indonesia National-Local Dialogue, held immediately after the launch of Indonesia's national project, gathered representatives from the national government and five cities to address five key issues facing the country. Led by ICLEI, this dialogue aimed to enhance communication and coordination across different levels of government and departments to advance an integrated approach to urban development.

Representatives from the national government and the cities of Balikpapan, Bitung, Jakarta, Palembang, and Semarang came together to discuss and collaborate on five critical areas: Transitioning to a circular economy and waste management strategies, improving water resources management, advancing energy efficiency and renewable energy, implementing sustainable transport options, and supporting urban biodiversity.

By fostering discussions around these key issues, the dialogue promoted a comprehensive understanding and collaborative effort among national and local representatives.
