UNDP's Support to Marine Plastic Litter Reduction and Waste Management

Marine debris remains a major environmental challenge in Indonesia, affecting marine ecosystems, public health, fisheries, tourism, and the broader economy. To address this issue, the Government of Indonesia issued Presidential Regulation No. 83/2018 on the National Action Plan on Marine Debris (RAN PSL), targeting a 70% reduction in marine debris by 2025 through coordinated actions across 22 ministries and agencies under the National Coordination Team on Marine Debris (TKN PSL).

Building on the progress of the National Action Plan and recognizing the need for stronger waste governance beyond 2025, the Government of Indonesia is currently discussing the revision and potential integration of Presidential Regulation No. 83/2018 on Marine Debris Management and Presidential Regulation No. 97/2017 on the National Policy and Strategy for Household Waste Management (Jakstranas). This effort aims to strengthen a more integrated waste management framework that addresses waste reduction, handling, and leakage prevention from source to sea. The national commitment is further reinforced through the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029, which targets 100% waste management coverage and zero plastic leakage by 2029.

UNDP Indonesia, through the Marine Plastic Litter Reduction Acceleration Secretariat Project, supports the Government of Indonesia in implementing the National Action Plan on Marine Debris by strengthening coordination under TKN PSL, improving monitoring and reporting systems, and supporting policy development including updated regulatory frameworks for waste management beyond 2025. In addition, UNDP promotes innovative river waste management approaches, recognizing that rivers are a major pathway for land-based waste entering the ocean. These efforts aim to strengthen data systems, enhance stakeholder collaboration, and accelerate progress toward Indonesia's marine plastic reduction and sustainable waste management targets.
