Indonesia’s 2025 Voluntary National Review: Leading the Way Toward a Resilient and Sustainable Future
Indonesia’s fourth Voluntary National Review (VNR) in 2025 is more than a report, it is a bold statement of purpose.
It marks a defining moment in the nation’s journey, reaffirming Indonesia’s unwavering dedication to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and its growing leadership on the global stage.
Amid a world still reeling from the aftershock of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising geopolitical tension, and economic volatility, Indonesia emerges as a stabilizing force.
Through this VNR, Indonesia champions inclusive multilateralism and calls for global solidarity to accelerate SDGs progress, not just for today, but future generations.
Indonesia’s peaceful democratic transition in 2024 creates powerful momentum to drive sustainable development forward. With the Asta Cita vision at the heart of 2025–2029 National Development Plan, Indonesia is sharpening its focus and aligning efforts across all levels of government. This political continuity ensures that progress strengthens policy coherence and unlocks new opportunities to accelerate progress on the SDGs.
A decade into the implementation of SDGs, Indonesia continues to make steady progress. As of the 2024 report, approximately 61.44% of the 233 indicators are on track to achieve SDGs by 2030. These results highlight the strength and consistency of the government’s policy framework, demonstrating that sustainable development and economic resilience can go together amidst a global downturn.
The 2025 VNR, themed “Fostering Inclusive Growth: Advancing a Sustainable and Resilient Indonesia,” highlights Indonesia’s conviction that inclusivity is key to lasting progress. With steady 5% annual growth, the economy is driven by strong domestic demand, rising investment, and a bold shift toward a green, circular, and blue economic models. The VNR also highlights the interlinkages and synergies in Indonesia's SDGs achievements, particularly on the five SDGs under review this year.
Social progress remains a central pillar of Indonesia’s development. Bold health reforms have boosted system resilience and primary care, cutting infant mortality to 16.85 per 1,000 live births, and expanding National Health Insurance (JKN) to 98.8% coverage. At the same time, strides in gender equality,from economic empowerment to legal reform, are driving more women into leadership and reducing child marriage.
Indonesia’s environmental leadership reflects its deep commitment to sustainability. As the world’s largest archipelagic state, Indonesia recognizes that protecting nature is key to human well-being. Marine conservation now spans 29.9 million hectares, safeguarding biodiversity while fueling a thriving blue economy. These efforts also empower coastal communities, create decent jobs, and secure a better future generations to come.
Good governance, accountability, and inclusiveness are at the heart of Indonesia’s SDGs journey. The VNR process brings together all stakeholders, government, civil society, academia, private sector, and development partners. SDGs are fully embedded in development planning, backed by oversight from the Supreme Audit Institution (BPK) and strengthened by the One Data Indonesia initiative for better, evidence-based policies.
Indonesia is mobilizing diverse resources and fostering strong partnerships to drive sustainable development. Through innovative financing mechanisms such as blended finance, SDGs bonds, the SDGs Financing Hub, Green Sukuk, and Islamic Financing, Indonesia is taking bold steps to close the SDGs financing gap.
Indonesia sees international cooperation as key to accelerating SDGs progress. Through active knowledge sharing and peer learning, it ensures the VNR is shaped by global best practices and strengthened partnerships.
Looking forward, Indonesia remains resolute in its commitment to building a just, inclusive, and sustainable future.
Indonesia joins the international community in renewing its commitment to inclusive multilateralism and solidarity.
Only through united, determined efforts can we deliver on the promise of the 2030 Agenda, for our people, our planet, and generations to come.
