Ministry of Environment Develops Energy Transition and Deforestation Reduction Roadmap for 2030
Jakarta — Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment (KLH) is developing strategic concepts for a Roadmap for Transition from Fossil Fuels in a Fair, Orderly, and Equitable Manner, and a Roadmap for Reducing and Reversing Deforestation and Forest Degradation by 2030.
Irawan Asaad, Director of Climate Change Resource Mobilisation at KLH/Environmental Control Agency (BPLH), stated that the roadmap development involves academics, civil society organisations, and individual experts. The process is being conducted through dialogue with non-party stakeholders to align global climate commitments with Indonesia’s national energy sovereignty and forestry sector interests.
“This dialogue is Indonesia’s response to a letter from Brazil, as COP30 presidency, inviting contributions from all parties in developing these two roadmaps initiated by the COP30 presidency as a follow-up to COP30 held in Belém, Brazil in 2025,” said Asaad.
Regarding the fossil fuel transition roadmap (TAFF), Indonesia emphasises that whilst committed to the global agenda, there is no one-size-fits-all formula that applies universally. The transition process must be nationally determined, considering Indonesia’s national conditions and dependence on fossil energy to avoid disrupting development.
Similarly, for the deforestation and forest degradation reduction roadmap, Indonesia stresses that national conditions must be considered, prioritising accelerated action and strengthened efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the energy and forestry sectors, building on progress since Decision 1/CMA 5 from COP29 in Dubai in 2023.
As a follow-up, KLH/BPLH will develop the input framework and draft roadmap concepts in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and the Ministry of Forestry. The final document will be submitted to Brazil’s COP30 presidency and will form the basis of Indonesia’s official position at upcoming international climate conferences, including COP31 UNFCCC in November 2026 in Antalya, Turkey.
