INTRODUCTION

Currently, GGGI supports the Government of Indonesia (GoI) under the joint GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program (GGP, “the Program”). The Program aims to demonstrate that green investments can become the norm both for investors and planners, ultimately improving the quality of economic development for more environmental sustainability and social inclusion. Through the Program, GGGI collaborates with the Ministry of Development Planning (Bappenas), the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Forestry, PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (“PT SMI”), and others.

GGGI developed the project proposal together with implementing partners PCR and YCPII in response to a 2023 Call for Proposals by IKI. Since then, GGGI and the implementing partners have collaborated closely with the GoI, BMWE, and Zukunft–Umwelt–Gesellschaft (ZUG) to ensure that the project is aligned with the GoI’s needs, enabling the country to enact an energy sector transition and achieve its climate change mitigation ambitions, as expressed by its commitment to the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.

This project aims to support Indonesia in redirecting investment flows in support of implementing the JET agenda. To achieve this, the project targets critical investment enablers like policy, investment preparation and de-risking, inclusive resilience planning, awareness raising and capacity building. The project builds on Indonesia’s existing JET plans and strategies, and coordinates national stakeholders across the energy, environment, investment, and finance sectors to effect change.

The GoI will receive technical assistance for designing fiscal policies that can redirect public and private investments towards low-emission energy investments. The private sector and local communities will be engaged in identifying tangible investment opportunities that can leverage climate finance and carbon markets. The lessons learned from the project will be compiled and shared to promote scaling up and replication regionally and globally.
