The common standard will empower the region in negotiating against environmental trade barriers.

#Indonesia has the laxest #sustainablefinance classification system in #Asia. According to Ramnath N. Iyer, IEEFA's Sustainable Finance Lead, Asia, the Indonesian #taxonomy contradicts prevailing standards and risks losing credibility in international sustainable finance if such financing is classified as green or transition finance. The taxonomies of #Malaysia and the #Philippines also do not follow any quantitative emissions criteria, making for ambiguous interpretations. Singapore and Thailand have the most comprehensive and stringent classification. "While the diversity of approaches reflects each country’s unique contexts, it also presents significant challenges for interoperability and consistency. A unified framework that aligns with international standards is crucial for fostering a sustainable financial ecosystem in the region," says Iyer. https://lnkd.in/gCM2sewZ #energy #sustainability #climatefinance

To faster progress on the SDGs, through the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas Republic of Indonesia, with support from UNDP, introduced the SDG Push Framework - a guide designed to address both immediate challenges and long-term goals. It’s about driving change through policy, finance, technology, and governance. The aim? To speed up Indonesia’s journey to achieving the SDGs with a clear action plan and ongoing support. Here's the game plan: 1️⃣ Scoping – Get a clear view of the current situation with data and trends. 2️⃣ Acceleration Dialogues – Open conversations with key stakeholders to find solutions. 3️⃣ Modeling – Test new ideas to see what works best for SDG progress. 4️⃣ Sustainable Finance – Secure the right funding to make SDG projects happen. 5️⃣ Acceleration Pathways – Turn insights into actionable steps to move faster. But honestly, what steps do you think are most crucial for accelerating SDG progress in Indonesia? and for those of us working in the private sector, what role should we play in supporting the SDGs? How can we contribute to this push? 😊
