Indonesia is committed to a low-emission future by targeting a voluntary reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 31.89 percent (unconditionally and without international assistance) or 43.2 percent (with international support) by 2030. One of the efforts to reduce emissions is through carbon trading.
Businesses can purchase carbon units to achieve emissions reduction targets and fulfill their commitment to carbon neutral or net-zero. Proceeds from carbon trading will be invested in environmental efforts aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
