        "summary": "Indonesia has reiterated its commitment to a just energy transition at the Global Electrification and Transition Energy Summit (GETES) 2026 in London. The government stressed that the shift from fossil fuels must include environmental protection, ecosystem preservation, and safeguards for affected workers and communities. The approach aligns with UN calls for an inclusive transition that creates jobs and improves welfare alongside reducing emissions.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia\u2019s government has reaffirmed its commitment to a just energy\ntransition at the Global Electrification and Transition Energy Summit\n(GETES) 2026 in London, England. Minister of Environment\/Head of the\nEnvironmental Control Agency (BPLH) Jumhur Hidayat stated that the\nenergy transformation must be carried out responsibly so that its\nbenefits can be widely felt without sacrificing the environment or\nlabour groups. \u201cFor Indonesia, the future transformation must be done\nresponsibly. We ensure that every development step taken continues to\nprioritise strict environmental standards to align with our national\nclimate commitments and ensure protection for affected workers,\u201d Jumhur\nsaid. This concept is known as a just energy transition. In this\napproach, efforts to reduce carbon emissions do not only focus on\nbuilding clean energy but also consider the social and economic impacts\nthat arise during the transition process. For Indonesia, this issue\nholds significant importance as the country is one of the world\u2019s\nlargest owners of biodiversity. Its vast tropical forests, peatlands,\nand mangrove ecosystems act as natural carbon sinks and support global\nclimate balance. During the forum, Jumhur explained that Indonesia is\ncommitted to maintaining a balance between economic growth, energy\ntransition, natural resource protection, and worker protection.\nAccording to him, all these aspects must go hand in hand to support\nsustainable development. This view aligns with the call from United\nNations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who emphasised the\nimportance of accelerating a fair and inclusive global energy\ntransition. Addressing world leaders and energy industry players,\nGuterres reminded them that the success of the energy transition is not\nonly measured by emission reductions but also by its ability to create\nnew jobs and improve community welfare. Therefore, worker protection is\na crucial element of the energy transition. Changes in the energy\nindustry structure have the potential to affect the types of jobs\navailable, necessitating skills upgrading, the creation of new job\nopportunities, and the provision of support for affected groups. Jumhur\nstated that Indonesia will continue to integrate development policies\nwith strong environmental standards. This approach is expected to\nmaintain consistency between economic growth targets and environmental\nconservation efforts. \u201cOur priority is to ensure that the direction of\ndevelopment policy remains integrated with robust environmental\nguidelines. This approach serves as the foundation for Indonesia to\nmaintain consistency between economic growth and environmental\nconservation targets,\u201d Jumhur said. In addition to strengthening\nnational policies, Indonesia is also encouraging increased international\ncooperation that is fair and transparent. Global collaboration is\nconsidered important to accelerate the development of clean energy while\nensuring that the benefits of the energy transition can be felt by all\ncountries, including developing nations.<\/p>",
