        "summary": "Indonesia has joined the UNIDO-coordinated Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative (IDDI) and launched a partnership between LKPP and UNIDO to put green public procurement into practice. The initiative aims to use government purchasing standards and predictable demand to encourage investment, innovation and domestic production of low-carbon materials such as steel, cement and concrete.",
        "content": "<p>Director for Business Climate and International Cooperation at the\nGovernment Goods\/Services Procurement Policy Agency (LKPP), Dwi Rahayu\nEka Setyowati, said public procurement must become an instrument for\nmarket transformation that encourages the use of low-carbon products and\nspeeds up sustainable industrial investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the government consistently creates demand for low-carbon\nproducts, industry will receive a clear signal that investing in\nsustainability has real economic and market value,\u201d Setyowati said when\nconfirmed here on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia announced its participation in the IDDI, a global coalition\ncoordinated by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization\n(UNIDO) to boost demand for low-carbon materials, earlier this\nmonth.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made at the Regional Dialogue on Advancing Green\nPublic Procurement in Asia, organized by LKPP in cooperation with UNIDO,\nAgora Industry, and Industrious Labs in Jakarta.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the announcement, a formal partnership between LKPP and\nUNIDO was also launched to translate high-level ambitions on Green\nPublic Procurement (GPP) into practical implementation.<\/p>\n<p>GPP is seen as a key driver to unlock green technology investment\nthat can lower emissions, boost economic growth, and create jobs in the\nAsian region.<\/p>\n<p>With a significant share of public spending in national expenditure,\nusing government demand through GPP is considered able to act as a\ncatalyst for speeding up green industrial transformation.<\/p>\n<p>By setting clear green procurement standards for large-scale public\nworks and infrastructure projects, the government can create a more\npredictable market for low-carbon products.<\/p>\n<p>This long-term demand certainty will encourage domestic producers to\ninnovate, increase production capacity, and speed up the development of\nlow-carbon industry.<\/p>\n<p>Over three days, policymakers, industry leaders, financial\ninstitutions, and development partners, including climate catalysts,\nreviewed practical frameworks for operationalizing GPP.<\/p>\n<p>These frameworks include mandatory procurement standards, digital\ne-procurement systems, Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), and\ncarbon footprint benchmarks for basic materials such as steel, cement,\nand concrete.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: BKPM says CCS can drive decarbonization, investment<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia eyes becoming Asia\u2019s hydrogen hub<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia to launch transportation decarbonization\nroadmap in May<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Harianto, Kenzu<\/p>",
