Reports
【Reflection】
This session brought together government officials, corporate representatives, and international organisations from Japan and Indonesia to discuss the current state and future prospects of the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) in Indonesia. The JCM is a system in which Japan collaborates with other countries to implement greenhouse gas reduction projects, recognising the resulting emission reductions in both countries. By facilitating technology transfer, financing, and green investment, it contributes to sustainable development. In Indonesia, a variety of projects are underway, including the expansion of renewable energy, forest conservation, and improvements in agriculture, which also support Japan’s own greenhouse gas reduction goals.
During the discussions, particular attention was given to expanding the application of the JCM. In addition to the existing energy sector, opportunities to reduce emissions in forest conservation, agriculture, and marine “blue carbon” initiatives were explored. The importance of implementing pilot projects to assess outcomes and evaluate technologies was highlighted. It was also noted that clarifying policies and regulations is essential for the expansion of projects, emphasising the need for mutual approval mechanisms and the development of technical guidelines between Japan and Indonesia.
The session further examined collaboration among governments, companies, financial institutions, and NGOs, confirming the value of coordinated efforts that link technology transfer and funding with the creation of social and economic benefits at the local level. At the conclusion of the meeting, a commitment was made to develop technical guidelines ahead of COP30, demonstrating a proactive intention to enhance the effectiveness of the JCM.
Overall, the forum provided a valuable opportunity to communicate the strategic significance of JCM and bilateral cooperation, while connecting discussions to concrete actions for a sustainable, low-carbon future.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Following the session, concrete measures have been taken to further improve the effectiveness of the JCM, building on the discussions held during the event.
In Indonesia, efforts to clarify policies and regulations are underway, and the development of mutual approval mechanisms and technical guidelines between Japan and Indonesia has accelerated. These steps create a more secure environment for investors and companies to participate in projects, facilitating more effective use of technology transfer and funding.
In addition, pilot projects are being implemented across a range of sectors, including forestry, agriculture, and marine initiatives, allowing the assessment of emission reduction impacts and the evaluation of technologies. These practical activities provide important foundations for the future expansion of the JCM by sharing successful practices and reducing project risks.
Furthermore, the establishment of carbon trading markets and improvements in transparency are expected to attract green investment from both domestic and international sources. Advanced technologies, such as blockchain-based platforms, have been introduced to increase the transparency and efficiency of projects.
These efforts also support the long-term development of collaborative frameworks among governments, businesses, financial institutions, and NGOs, contributing to the establishment of JCM leadership in Indonesia and serving as a model for climate action across the Asia region. The commitment to develop technical guidelines and regulatory frameworks ahead of COP30 provides clear guidance for strengthening cooperation and advancing towards a sustainable, low-carbon society, demonstrating both countries’ proactive approach to the international community.
