Ministry of Forestry Claims Presidential Regulation No. 110/2025 Strengthens Carbon and Forest Management
The Ministry of Forestry (Kemenhut) claims that Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 110 of 2025 concerning the Organisation of Carbon Economic Value and Greenhouse Gas Emission Control strengthens carbon and sustainable forest management.
The Head of the Bureau of Public Relations and Foreign Cooperation (Kemenhut), Ristianto Pribadi, said that the regulation also reinforces the role of the forestry sector.
“It not only protects the environment and biodiversity but also generates high-value carbon units. The management of Conservation Forests, Protected Forests, and Production Forests is strengthened to support climate resilience as well as green economic growth,” said Ristianto in a statement on Tuesday (24 February).
Ristianto stated that there are three main changes in this Presidential Regulation. First, the synchronisation of carbon policies is integrated with national development.
Second, deregulation, simplification and strengthening of the carbon trading system through the Integrated Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK) which is more efficient. And third, decentralisation, the division of roles between Ministries/Agencies is made clearer and more accountable.
“In addition, Presidential Regulation 110/2025 is also aimed at improving the welfare of the community, especially through social forestry and the rehabilitation of critical land. In the future, communities that protect and restore forests will be ensured to receive fair and measurable economic benefits,” he said.
Ristianto said that Presidential Regulation 110/2025 focuses on developing world-class, high-quality and high-integrity Indonesian carbon credits that are recognised globally without neglecting national development priorities.
“The economic value of carbon is expected not only to support the global climate agenda but also to strengthen conservation, improve community welfare, and promote sustainable economic growth,” he said.
Previously, President Prabowo Subianto issued Presidential Regulation No. 110 of 2025 concerning the Organisation of Carbon Economic Value Instruments and National Greenhouse Gas Emission Control.
This policy is a new basis for strengthening national climate governance and is part of the government’s efforts to accelerate the transition to a green economy.
Presidential Regulation 110/2025 presents a framework for emission control that places climate policy as part of the national development strategy.
Through the Carbon Economic Value (NEK) instrument, the government seeks to balance economic growth with environmental protection so that the benefits can be felt sustainably by the community.
The process of drafting this regulation involved various stakeholders, from ministries and agencies, business actors, academics, to international development partners. The government hopes that the regulation can be implemented effectively and in accordance with national interests.
