This guide, published by Trend Asia and associated with the Jakarta International Literary Festival (JILF) 2024, addresses the climate emergency in Indonesia. It critiques the government's continued reliance on coal, the use of biomass 'co-firing' as greenwashing, and the environmental damage caused by nickel mining for the energy transition. The document advocates for a just, democratic energy transition based on community-led renewable energy and provides actionable steps for individuals to reduce emissions and engage in collective political advocacy.

• Indonesia is among the top 10 global producers of greenhouse gases as of 2023, driven by a heavy dependence on coal and the exploitation of land, including the destruction of forests and peatlands.
• The Indonesian government has set a record coal production target of 710 million tons for the current year and continues to build new coal-fired power plants (PLTU) instead of retiring existing ones. In Buleleng, Bali, the PLTU in Celukan Bawang has caused pollution and waste on the coast, threatening local livelihoods and tourism.
• The government's use of wood biomass 'co-firing' in 52 PLTUs is described as 'greenwashing.' This project requires forest areas 35 times the size of DKI Jakarta, potentially converting over 1 million hectares of natural forest into monoculture wood plantations, which threatens biodiversity and indigenous communities in West Kalimantan, Mentawai, and South Papua.
• Nickel mining for electric vehicle batteries, framed as 'downstreaming' (hilirisasi), has caused significant environmental destruction in eastern Indonesia, specifically in Halmahera and at the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP), where worker safety and local environments are neglected.
• Community-based renewable energy initiatives, such as Micro-Hydro Power Plants (PLTMH) in Batusanggan, Riau, and the Kasepuhan Ciptagelar indigenous community in Sukabumi, are often ignored by the government in favor of large-scale projects like large hydroelectric plants (PLTA) that have higher social and environmental impacts.
