JAKARTA, Indonesia,Oct. 22, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- NECIndonesiaandSinar Mas Land, through its subsidiary PT Samakta Mitra, have started a strategic partnership to mitigate the impact of climate change by leveraging Adaptation Finance and disaster mitigation visualisation technology. Adaptation Finance is an initiative developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), designed to assess the risks and impacts of natural disasters caused by climate change. It aims to identify risks early, plan mitigation strategies, and foster greater business resilience.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to begin a joint study on Adaptation Finance inIndonesiabetweenSinar Mas Landand NEC Indonesia was signed by Irvan Yasni, CEO of Technology Advisory and Business ofSinar Mas Land, andJoji Yamamoto, President Director of NEC Indonesia, at the Biomedical Campus, BSD City, last15 October 2024.Yutaka Ukegawa, Corporate Executive Vice President of NEC Corporation, and Mulyawan Gani, Chief Transformation& Data Officer ofSinar Mas Land, were also in attendance.

Joji Yamamoto shares,"This collaboration marks an important first step in realising the Adaptation Finance initiative for mitigating the climate change. We believe that the technology and solutions offered by NEC can contribute to developing adaptive financial solutions that can be applied across various sectors. We look forward to this partnership withSinar Mas Land'ssubsidiary, PT Samakta Mitra. Previously, NEC implemented the same solutions inJapan, supported by major insurance companies. The success of this endeavour emphasises the significant potential of this collaboration to bring positive impacts toIndonesia'sfinancial services industry, particularly in addressing the growing climate challenges."

Irvan Yasni adds,"Adaptation Finance presents a great opportunity to create a more sustainable and safer environment in the face of disaster risks resulting from climate change. Together with NEC Indonesia, we will conduct a joint study on Adaptation Finance to develop case studies that anticipate adaptation steps and solutions to climate change across various sectors. By applying technology with disaster risk and climate change mapping, insurance companies can estimate potential losses and mitigate existing risks, allowing for more effective mitigation efforts."

Through this collaboration,Sinar Mas Landand NEC Indonesia will develop risk visualisation solutions capable of mapping the potential for natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and tropical cyclones. This will thereby accelerate the adoption of disaster risk mitigation solutions among insurance companies, banks, and investment firms. This initiative also supports better protection for communities and infrastructure in the future.

By utilising data-driven solutions, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), NEC Indonesia will identify potential threats, assess environmental impacts, and provide more effective risk mitigation recommendations. This technology enables more strategic and sustainable allocation of funds, allowing Adaptation Finance to deliver positive effects on society, the business community, and the environment. (*)
