In a\nstatement received in Jakarta on Friday, the minister affirmed\nIndonesia\u2019s commitment to leading the global transition from climate\nambition to real implementation through strengthened forestry\ngovernance, the development of high-integrity carbon markets, and\ninnovative conservation financing. \u201cIndonesia does not only want to be\npart of the global transition to a low-carbon economy, but also to lead\nthe transformation through credible, high-integrity nature-based climate\nsolutions that provide real benefits for the community,\u201d said Raja\nAntoni.

To support the Indonesia FOLU Net Sink 2030 target, the country\nis strengthening carbon market governance through Presidential\nRegulation Number 110 of 2025 and Forestry Ministerial Regulations\nNumber 6 and 7 of 2026, which provide regulatory certainty for carbon\nactivities in the forestry sector. \u201cOn 6 July, the Ministry of Forestry\nwill issue approvals and facilitate the issuance of forestry carbon\ncredits with a volume exceeding 30 million tonnes of CO2e,\u201d said Raja\nAntoni. \u201cThis is one of the most significant milestones in the\ndevelopment of Indonesia\u2019s forest carbon market and demonstrates our\ncommitment to translating policy ambition into real market\nopportunities.\u201d The minister also introduced innovative measures in\nconservation financing, including the establishment of a Task Force for\nInnovative National Park Financing through Presidential Decree Number 8\nof 2026.
