Assessment of Indonesia’s Position on the Net Zero Emission

Abstract The research aims to answer the questions of Indonesia’s current position and condition concerning NZE compared to other countries globally. The research design employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, adhering to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, which shows Indonesia’s absence of a national NZE strategy in the face of international imperatives calling for country-specific strategies. While multiple NZE roadmaps exist in Indonesia, an official roadmap tailored for national purposes is imperative. Environmental degradation tends to intensify during the initial phases of economic development. However, as per capita income exceeds a certain threshold, this degradation tends to diminish with increasing income levels. It is crucial to recognize that low-income countries, including Indonesia, may face significant challenges during the transition. This underscores the importance of global and national collaboration to address these issues effectively. There is a pressing need for establishing or formalizing an institution specifically dedicated to charting the roadmap for achieving NZE in Indonesia. Ultimately, it is essential to prioritize both energy security and affordability as overarching goals while continuing to advance sustainable energy initiatives.
