The selected consultant(s) will be responsible for producing three reports, each based on one dialogue, with the following objectives:
In this context, the Road to IISF 2025 is initiated as a lead-up to the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (IISF) 2025 Apex Summit, co-organized by Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA), Investor Policy Dialogue on Deforestation (IPDD), Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia / Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), and Perhimpunan Bank Umum Nasional / National Banks Association (PERBANAS). It aims to catalyze cross-sectoral efforts that reflect global investor expectations and national sustainability goals.
To effectively address the existing gaps in coordination and alignment among key stakeholders, concrete mechanisms are needed to translate Indonesia’s climate commitments into actionable collaboration. This necessitates the development of a joint declaration to formalize commitments, a taskforce to coordinate and oversee implementation, and a policy brief to provide clear technical guidance. These tools will serve as the foundation for strengthened multi-stakeholder engagement and more effective governance.
To strengthen forest conservation and sustainable land use by facilitating joint commitments and coordination mechanisms across key stakeholders through the IISF 2025 platform, aligned with Indonesia’s FOLU Net Sink 2030, NDC, and Net Zero targets.
The consultant is expected to lead and support the following activities:

The global “take-make-waste” economy is driving unsustainable resource use, contributing to 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress. With global waste projected to soar to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050, we are consuming resources 1.75 times faster than Earth can regenerate. Waste management companies have a vital role to play in reversing this trend by promoting prevention, reduction, recycling, and circular economy practices. By transforming operations and value chains, the sector can help reduce pressure on nature and contribute to the Global Biodiversity Framework’s goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 through more sustainable resource and waste systems.
The agri-food system, which spans from input supply to food disposal, sustains 2.5 billion livelihoods and feeds the global population. However, it heavily depends on—and simultaneously threatens—biodiversity and ecosystems. Agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation, impacting 86% of species at risk of extinction. Despite these challenges, the sector holds immense potential to drive nature-positive change. To ensure food security, human health, and ecological balance, a rapid transformation in how food is produced, sourced, and consumed is critical. Sector-specific actions guide businesses in supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework’s mission to reverse nature loss by 2030.
As demand rises, the cement and concrete sector must act now to align with nature-positive and net-zero goals. While some companies already operate under strict regulations and industry-led sustainability efforts like those by the Global Cement and Concrete Association, the sector still contributes to nature loss through emissions, water use, and quarrying. To support the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission, sector-specific actions have been developed to guide companies in transforming their practices and reducing environmental impacts across the value chain.
The energy system, including oil, gas, and utilities, plays a critical role in both driving and addressing nature loss. It encompasses all aspects of energy production, conversion, storage, delivery, and use. With high greenhouse gas emissions and intensive land and water use, the sector significantly impacts nature and faces risks to business continuity. However, it also holds vast potential to support nature-positive outcomes, as energy is essential across industries and households. A guideline of Energy sector actions has been developed to align energy systems with the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission to halt and reverse nature loss.
Forest companies, managing around 30% of the world’s forests for wood production, are key players in achieving a nature-positive and net-zero future. Their operations rely heavily on healthy ecosystems, especially for long-term wood fiber supply. However, long harvest cycles make them vulnerable to climate and nature-related risks. To address these challenges and meet rising demand sustainably, the forest sector must transition to an inclusive circular bioeconomy, using wood from responsibly managed forests. A new guidance report outlines sector actions needed to transform business practices and support the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 goals.
