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.
