During the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) held in Belém, Brazil, Indonesia’s government reiterated its commitment to combating climate change and accelerating the transition to Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060 or earlier. The message was delivered by Hashim Djojohadikusumo, the Special Envoy of the President for Climate and Energy, representing President Prabowo Subianto at the Leaders Summit on November 6, 2025.
Djojohadikusumo emphasized Indonesia’s readiness to collaborate with other nations on initiatives that are ambitious and results-oriented. He reaffirmed the country’s dedication to the Paris Agreement, which aims for NZE by 2060, while also targeting an 8% economic growth rate through sustainable development strategies.
As part of its Second Nationally Determined Contribution (SNDC), Indonesia aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.2 to 1.5 gigatons of CO equivalent by 2035. This goal will be supported by increasing the renewable energy mix to 23% by 2030 and exploring new technologies, including nuclear energy, as part of its green energy transition.
In line with these objectives, President Prabowo recently issued two significant regulations: Presidential Regulation No. 109 on Waste-to-Energy and Presidential Regulation No. 110 on Carbon Economic Value. These regulations are intended to establish a framework for a national decarbonization system and improve control over greenhouse gas emissions.
Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, the Minister of Environment and Head of the Environmental Control Agency, echoed Djojohadikusumo’s sentiments, highlighting the importance of a just and equitable green economy. He stated that COP30 represents a pivotal moment for demonstrating that green development is both feasible and advantageous, asserting that Indonesia aims to lead by example in integrating policy, science, and social values.
Darmawan Prasodjo, President Director of PT PLN (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, outlined PLN’s role in realizing the government’s vision for energy transition. Under the new Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) for 2025-2034, PLN plans to add 69.5 gigawatts of generation capacity, with approximately 76% derived from renewable energy and storage technologies.
Prasodjo emphasized that the RUPTL serves as a strategic roadmap for accelerating the clean energy transition and ensuring a reliable electricity supply. The plan aims to create green jobs, enhance electrification in underdeveloped regions, and bolster national energy resilience. He reiterated PLN’s commitment to building a cleaner, more inclusive, and sustainable power system through collaboration with various stakeholders.
As Indonesia continues to navigate its energy transition, the emphasis on climate justice and sustainable development remains central to its strategy, positioning the nation as a leader in the global fight against climate change.
