FGD on Enhancing Just Transition for the Government of Indonesia

On February 20, 2025, the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs (CMEA) hosted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on Enhancing Just Transition at Hotel Mercure Sabang, Jakarta, bringing together key stakeholders from national and subnational governments, State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and international organizations. Facilitated by the JETP Secretariat in collaboration with UNOPS ETP, UNDP Indonesia, and GIZ, the session aimed to refine guidelines for operationalizing the Just Transition Framework, focusing on Standard 9: Economic Diversification and Transformation. The event was attended by 18 ministries, 6 SOEs, and two subnational governments in person, while 33 ministries, 20 subnational governments, and 11 international organizations joined online. Discussions emphasized the need for strong government coordination, inclusive participation, and effective monitoring, evaluation, and grievance mechanisms to support a fair transition from fossil fuel dependency to a low-emission, climate-resilient economy. The session also highlighted the importance of balancing energy security, equity, and sustainability while ensuring that communities, women, and marginalized groups actively shape Indonesia’s energy future. Insights from this FGD will strengthen the implementation of CIPP 2025, reinforcing Indonesia’s commitment to a just and sustainable energy transition.
