“To advance the Paris Agreement, Indonesia submitted its second Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in October 2025 and its National Adaptation Plan in November 2025. We have set an emission level of 1.2 to 1.5 gigatons of CO2 equivalent by 2035, increasing renewable energy to 23 percent of our energy mix by 2030, and developing clean technology,” the minister stated.
He conveyed this during the National Statement – High-Level Segment at the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, on Monday (November 17) local time.
He then emphasized Indonesia’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner.
“We come to Belém with a strong commitment to the Paris Agreement and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 or earlier. This pledge was reaffirmed by the Indonesian President at the UN General Assembly and by the Special Envoy at the 2025 Belém Climate Summit, highlighting our dedication to global climate action,” he continued.
Furthermore, the minister mentioned that the 2030 Folu Net Sink Program remains Indonesia’s main focus, with a net CO2 reduction target of 92 million tons to 118 million tons by 2030.
In order to support climate action and strategies, Nurofiq said Indonesia already has a series of regulations in place, namely Presidential Regulation Number 109 concerning Waste-to-Energy Conversion and Presidential Regulation Number 110 concerning Carbon Pricing.
“These instruments serve as key components of the national framework for decarbonization financing and greenhouse gas emission management,” he pointed out.
On that occasion, he also called on countries to engage constructively to ensure COP30 produces an inclusive framework that converts ambition into action and fulfills the Paris Agreement.
At COP30, Indonesia has inked an agreement with the United Kingdom to strengthen bilateral efforts to reduce plastic pollution and improve environmental management.
This was followed by the agreement between the state-owned electricity company, PT PLN, and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) from Norway.
Under the deal, GGGI will purchase 12 million tons of CO2 from PLN’s renewable energy projects.
