Indonesia Ministry of Transportation launches decarbonization roadmap

The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation has introduced a Transportation Decarbonization Roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across four key subsectors: land, sea, air, and rail. The document was received by Secretary General Arif Toha at the ministry headquarters in Jakarta.

Developed in collaboration with the United Kingdom through the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) program, alongside the World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia and other consortium partners, the roadmap serves as a policy guide for future mitigation actions.

Key strategies include:

Land transport: Reducing reliance on private vehicles by increasing the use of mass public transit, such as buses and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), and implementing better traffic management.

Rail: Expanding the role of trains for passenger mobility and freight distribution, alongside the electrification of rail networks.

Sea and Air: Modernizing maritime vessels and aviation technology to lower environmental impact.
