T
he national 2050 net-zero agenda presents potential investment opportunities of up to US$3.8 trillion, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) has projected.
This amount is around 4.3 percent of the country’s cumulative gross domestic product (GDP), according to data from Kadin as well as global research service BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Speaking at the opening of the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (ISF) in Jakarta on Friday, Kadin chairman Anindya Bakrie said investment in Indonesia’s energy transition reached around $4 billion last year, mainly in initiatives related to electric transportation and power distribution.
However, he acknowledged that the country still lagged behind other emerging economies in energy transition investment.
“To seize the $3.8 trillion decarbonization opportunity before us, Indonesia’s private sector must lead in four critical areas,” Anindya said, highlighting climate and net-zero goals, capital, carbon markets and skills development.
“Both the public and private sectors have a role to play in amplifying the country’s sustainability efforts and collectively shortening the time needed to reach the net-zero goal,” he added.
