Sustainable investment has become a pressing need, with the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (2023) noting that global sustainable assets have reached USD 35.3 trillion, about 36% of total global financial assets. To address the shift towards a sustainable economy, the Indonesian government remains proactive in attracting sustainable investment, particularly through the development of a green economy ecosystem. The National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2024-2045 outlines Indonesia's Vision 2045, which includes implementing green economy policies that promote quality environmental transformation, social and cultural resilience, and eco-friendly infrastructure.
The government has already taken significant steps, such as Presidential Regulation No. 112/2022, aiming to increase renewable energy in the energy mix to 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. Key sectors like renewable energy, circular economy, and green technology are expected to generate 25 million new jobs, with Indonesia's abundant renewable energy resources, including solar, hydro, and geothermal, supporting this transition. Despite the country's commitment to green and sustainable growth, challenges remain, requiring strategic actions such as strengthening regulations, improving green financing, and optimizing carbon trading. Encouraging private sector involvement and fostering international cooperation are also essential to driving further progress in green investments and renewable energy development.
