Indonesia carbon market expansion and forest governance

Overview

Indonesia is advancing a multi-track low-carbon transition, balancing a coal-reliant power sector with goals for 70% renewable energy by 2060. Following the July 2026 activation of the Carbon Unit Registry (SRUK), the government has moved to strengthen carbon market governance through Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025 and Ministry of Forestry Regulation No. 6/2026. Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni and Environment Minister Moh Jumhur Hidayat have emphasized high-integrity frameworks that ensure transparent benefit-sharing for local communities. Minister Hidayat has likened carbon trading to “trading oxygen,” advocating for its use alongside ecotourism to drive regional economic growth.

To support the maturing carbon industry, new regulations (PSPK 1 and PSPK 2) will take effect on January 1, 2027, requiring businesses to establish reliable greenhouse gas inventories. This shift has created a demand for specialized expertise, prompting initiatives like Carbon Youth Week 2026 to address technical human resource shortages.

Governance efforts include a “multidoor” legal approach to dismantle organized forestry crime and wildlife trafficking networks by collaborating with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). This strategy utilizes forensic science and financial investigations to target the economic incentives of environmental crime.

In international trade, Indonesia continues to align forestry regulations with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) through the FLEGT-VPA framework. Officials are utilizing the Legality and Sustainability Verification System (SVLK) to ensure product traceability, with EU Ambassador Denis Chaibi noting that FLEGT-licensed products remain recognized under the new EUDR framework.
