Indonesia Highlights Inclusive Energy Transition Ahead of COP30 in Brazil
Belém, The Gulf Observer: Indonesia’s ongoing energy transformation is designed to ensure that the benefits of the transition reach all citizens, said Special Envoy for Climate and Energy Hashim Djojohadikusumo ahead of the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30).
Speaking at the Belém Leader Summit in Brazil on Thursday, Hashim emphasized that President Prabowo Subianto’s administration is taking decisive steps to reduce dependence on coal, expand renewable energy and biofuels, and accelerate the use of biodiesel and bioethanol.
“Our goal is not only to strengthen energy security but also to ensure that the transition provides equitable benefits for all,” Hashim stated.
He highlighted two recently issued presidential regulations—Presidential Regulation No. 109 on Waste Energy and Presidential Regulation No. 110 on the Economic Value of Carbon—as key instruments for financing Indonesia’s decarbonization agenda and establishing frameworks to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Hashim further underlined the significance of the enhanced 2030 Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) Net Absorption Program as a central component of Indonesia’s climate strategy. The program targets a net reduction of 92 to 118 million tons of CO₂ equivalent by 2030.
In addition, he reaffirmed Indonesia’s commitment to increasing the renewable energy share in the national energy mix to 23 percent by 2030, noting that the country is also exploring advanced technologies, including nuclear power, as part of its clean energy transition.
The Belém Leader Summit, held from November 6 to 7, brought together global leaders to discuss coordinated climate action and sustainable energy strategies. The event served as a preparatory platform for COP30, which will convene from November 10 to 17 in Brazil.
Hashim Djojohadikusumo led the Indonesian delegation to the summit, underscoring Indonesia’s strong commitment to global climate cooperation and inclusive energy transformation.
