Indonesia has implemented a new presidential regulation on Carbon Economic Value, paving the way for a robust, high-integrity carbon trading ecosystem aligned with international standards. The Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia is coordinating with global partners to position Indonesia as a leading carbon market hub. The regulation mandates credible and transparent measurement methodologies, ensures that local communities benefit from climate action via social- and environmental-safeguards, and signals readiness to attract global investment for climate-related economic activity.
By leveraging forest-based carbon credits and associated regulation, Indonesia aims to unlock economic opportunities while combating climate change. The initiative emphasizes delivering real climate impact, creating jobs, enhancing livelihoods, and fostering community resilience through sustainable forest management. With this framework, the government has established Indonesia’s ambition to become a global carbon marketplace that supports inclusive development and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals.
