UK PACT PRICE (Carbon Pricing)

The issuance of Presidential Regulation (PR) No. 110/2025 on Carbon Pricing (Nilai Ekonomi Karbon/NEK), replacing PR No. 98/2021, marks a significant reform in Indonesia’s carbon pricing governance, including the establishment of a National Steering Committee to oversee implementation and coordination. However, despite this progress, the regulatory transition continues to face challenges, particularly capacity gaps among sectoral ministries in developing derivative implementing regulations and translating the national framework into effective sectoral carbon pricing instruments. In response to this, the project of PRICE (Policy Regulatory Framework for Indonesia Carbon Pricing Ecosystem) refocuses its interventions on strengthening stakeholder understanding and institutional capacity to interpret and operationalize PR 110/2025 through policy gap analysis, stakeholder engagement, and targeted capacity building.

Building on the UKPACT Carbon Pricing Phase 1 project, the intervention will focus on four areas: (i) policy and regulatory analysis to align national carbon pricing regulations with international best practices and compliance frameworks; (ii) modelling-based impact analysis to assess carbon pricing effectiveness and identify complementary measures, integrating a Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) lens; (iii) co-development of sectoral carbon pricing implementation roadmaps with strong cross-sectoral coordination; and (iv) capacity building for relevant ministries and agencies. By project completion, line ministries will be better equipped to design and implement effective, transparent, and accountable carbon pricing policies that support Indonesia’s climate and economic goals.
