Waste To Welfare: A Circular Economy Story  | Inspiring Asia Micro-Documentary Film Festival 2023 This film chronicles the enlightening journey of two students, Raisya and Julpi, through the landscapes of sustainable waste management in West Java, Indonesia. Starting with their route to a school amidst litter, their perspective shifts after attending an environmental workshop. They realize waste isn’t just a challenge but a potential resource. Delving into recycling and environmental rejuvenation, they champion a town-wide shift to a circular economy. Collaborating with schools, local authorities, and sparking awareness drives, they transform their community’s perception of waste. Beyond mere disposal, they see it as an avenue for economic prospects. This narrative celebrates youthful initiative, community transformation, and the lasting impact of education on #environmentalpreservation.

Indonesia’s president-elect Prabowo Subianto is eyeing a $65 billion green economy fund by 2028, fueled by the sale of carbon credits from rainforest preservation and reforestation projects. With a new regulator to oversee carbon markets, the plan is positioned to drive Indonesia’s energy transition and support its net-zero goals by 2060. However, the real challenge will be scaling up carbon credit sales in a highly competitive global market and attracting the necessary investment to meet these ambitious financial targets. Speaking to Reuters about the new green fund, managing director Christina Ng said "Indonesia's vast natural ecosystem offers scope for major carbon offset projects, but the targets are highly ambitious from financial and operational perspectives."

Private-Public Partnership (PPP) is established when two or more organizations in the public or private sector start a new cooperative relationship based on mutual trust and benefit. The concept as well as being considered as a tool that creates synergies, that develops and strengthens competences, creates alliances between various actors, and allows voluntary cooperation for financing and project management in many sectors. It is also believed that, through its methodology, it has been able to overcome the social and technical complexities of rural development projects and natural resource dynamics. CSP—Cocoa Sustainability Partnership—is aimed to establish the resilience of farmers toward two hundred million trees with two kilograms dry bean production per tree. CSP is a forum for public-private collaboration and actively for the betterment of cocoa development in Indonesia. We support Indonesian cocoa sector in international market. The CSP exists to increase communication, coordination, and collaboration between public and private stakeholders engaged in cocoa sustainability activities in Indonesia for the mutual benefit of all cocoa sector players.

🌊 Restoring climate balance, empowering communities, and revitalizing ecosystems - this is the mission driving CarbonEthics, co-founded by Jessica Novia, Innandya Kusumawardhani, and Bimo Soewadji. What started as an initiative to preserve and restore Indonesia’s natural blue carbon ecosystem, has grown into being a trusted partner helping companies accelerating the journey toward net zero. And now, CarbonEthics is officially B Corp certified - with impact numbers that speak for itself: 🌏 4.2 million hectares of pre-feasibility studies conducted 🌿 1 million tons of potential high-quality CO2e credits identified 🌱 288,000+ coastal biota planted, sequestering 12.4 million kg of carbon 🤝 Reached over 1.3 million people and increased farmer incomes in Bintan by 2.5 times While many view regulatory challenges as roadblocks, CarbonEthics sees opportunity - actively engaging with policymakers to shape meaningful regulations for a sustainable future.

Denmark - Indonesia City Cooperation Indonesia🇮🇩 has a decentralized governance model, which means that the local regencies have the freedom to decide what is best for their cities under the national policies framework. This also includes solid waste management and circularity. In Denmark 🇩🇰 we also have a model where the municipalities are responsible for the citizen-directed tasks, including solid waste management. That is why 🇩🇰 and 6 cities in 🇮🇩 are partnering under the Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) to learn from each other. This week we hosted a 3 day workshop with Kudus, Bogor, Malang, Banuymas, Cilapap and Banda Aceh focusing on the on the policies and hands-on challenges of each of the cities, with the participation of our expert from Odense waste Utility. The topics went from Institution 🏛️and Human Resources to infrastructure🏭, financing 💰, socialization💆🏻and reporting (including waste data)📈. There is much to do and each city has a different challenge 👷🏻, but this will not stop 🇩🇰on supporting the 6 cities towards a better solid waste management 💪🏼 and circular economy ♻️.Jan Møller Hansen Rasmus Eisted Anders Brodersen Jensen Dody Iswandi Maulidiawan Michael Dino Hansen

🌿 Tropical peatlands in Indonesia are a powerhouse for CO2 absorption, making them crucial for carbon credits. Thanks to new regulations, Indonesia can now export these credits to countries like the UK, US, and New Zealand, helping them meet their 2030 emission targets.   While acquiring land rights and permits is challenging, local players have successfully launched high-quality forest projects for carbon trading. This space is growing, and early entrants stand to benefit the most.   Some new age players recently receiving funding include Fairatmos, CarbonEthics, and Jejakin – a sign of confidence from funders in this space.   The government is carefully managing carbon credit supply through selective licensing to prevent oversupply. As emissions are measured and companies face regulatory pressure, the demand for carbon offset projects and capture technology will rise.   Read on the latest Indonesian carbon space regulatory and business updates on our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g2vbcVfw Or reach out to our in-house experts for more:   Roshan Raj | Aayush Gupta | Yash Rathi | Rizky Bayuputra | Putri Aulia Follow Redseer Southeast Asia for more specialized insights. 🌍 #CarbonCredits #Sustainability #Indonesia #Peatlands

As Indonesia faces the complex challenges of climate change, Prabowo Subianto's proposal for a $65 billion green fund through the sale of carbon credits marks a bold step forward in our country's environmental strategy. A carbon market can serve as a powerful tool to reduce emissions, promote conservation, and ensure sustainable economic growth. However, for this initiative to succeed, it must prioritize transparency, equity, and the inclusion of local communities who are often at the frontline of conservation efforts. From my experience managing sustainable landscapes in Kalimantan, I’ve seen firsthand the critical role that multi-stakeholder collaboration plays in protecting our natural resources. The success of this carbon market will depend on partnerships between government, private sectors, and local communities to ensure that the benefits are shared equitably. This initiative has the potential to position Indonesia as a global leader in green finance, but it must be carefully designed to balance economic goals with long-term environmental stewardship.
