Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:

ill, injured, or involved in a crime

Development work with Indonesia

The UK government supports international development through long-term partnerships. These are tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, built on mutual accountability and transparency. Sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy, and we are working to go further and faster to reduce poverty globally.

For up-to-date information on the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme work, view the Development Tracker.

Climate change in Indonesia

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases with the highest global rate of deforestation. The UK Climate Change Unit (UKCCU) was established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Indonesia. Up to 80% of the emissions come from land use change and deforestation.
