Partnering for a Greener Indonesia: UK–Indonesia Collaboration on Energy Efficiency, Low-Carbon Transport and Carbon Pricing
Through UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions), the British Government has supported the advancement of environmentally across several provinces in Indonesia, including North Sumatra, DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi.
This collaboration has played a role in strengthening two key sectors: low-carbon transport and energy efficiency. In partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the programme has contributed to national energy efficiency targets through initiatives in the building sector, the development of pilot financial products, and the introduction of policies that promote market-based instruments. It also encourages stronger coordination among energy stakeholders, while fostering policies that make energy efficiency measures more practical, appealing, and accessible for implementation.
Within the transport sector, in partnership with Ministry of Transportation, the programme has supported the stakeholders in the creation of a strategic roadmap for the electrification of public transport, embedding climate-friendly solutions into national and regional planning, and designing projects that attract investment in low-carbon infrastructure. These efforts include integrated urban development approaches such as aligning light rail transit (LRT) with land value capture, improving transport accessibility and safety for vulnerable groups, and promoting sustainable urban mobility in coastal areas. There is also a strong emphasis on inclusive decarbonisation and the transformation of mobility across the Jakarta metropolitan area.
Indonesia-UK PACT remains committed to advancing the country’s transition towards a low-carbon future. With renewed multi-year funding, the programme continues to work closely with government partners to support policy innovation, cross-sector collaboration, and Indonesia’s broader sustainable development goals.
UK PACT is helping support Indonesia’s transition to a greener and more resilient future. A portfolio of new low-carbon transport projects was announced in July 2022.
