Indonesia is aiming for a complex transition away from coal power — one that will require a concerted effort from the government, industry, financial institutions and communities. The government has set a goal of net-zero emissions by 2060, but it will be a challenge to reach that goal without significant changes to one of the world’s biggest producer and user of coal. Indonesia needs to phase down its reliance on coal power and develop more sustainable energy sources. This will require new policies, regulations and investments. It will also require a just transition that does not leave workers and communities behind.
