Indonesia green infrastructure report launch
The Summit will include the launch of the inaugural Green Infrastructure Investment Opportunities (GIIO) report, developed in partnership with Pembiayaan Investasi Non-Anggaran Pemerintah (PINA), an initiative of the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), and PT. EBA Indonesia. The report explores a wide variety of green investment opportunities in Indonesia and highlights a sample green infrastructure pipeline.
Projects aligned with international definitions of “green” in Indonesia include low-carbon transport, renewable energy, sustainable water and waste management and green buildings. The report aims to facilitate engagement on this topic between project owners and developers, and investors.
Indonesia is making progress on transitioning to a more sustainable and inclusive society. With strong political support, a facilitative policy framework, and improving macroeconomic conditions, the opportunities for green infrastructure investments are increasing.
Who’s saying what?
Yudhi Ismail, President Director, PT. EBA Indonesia:
“Indonesia shares the same infrastructure challenges as many other nations in ensuring all new infrastructure is green and matching investors to the many opportunities that exist.”
The Last Word
Climate Bonds Initiative will develop a series of reports investigating green infrastructure investment opportunities in countries and regions around the world. The GIIO Indonesia report is another step in our efforts to build climate finance and green investment markets in emerging and developing economies.
