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.
