The document discusses the devastating impact of peatland fires in Indonesia, exacerbated by El Niño and agribusiness drainage, and supports President Subianto Prabowo's proposal to classify these acts as "ecological terrorism."

The document highlights the growing political and economic opposition to Indonesia's Food and Energy Estates project, which is slated to destroy 4.3 million acres of forest. It specifically details the case of Mama Yasinta Moiwend, an Indigenous activist from Papua who was allegedly forcibly removed from her home by the Jhonlin Group and pressured by government-linked actors to distance herself from the documentary 'Pesta Babi'. The author links the project to broader economic instability, noting a 32 percent decline in Indonesia's stock index, and calls for the project to be redirected toward degraded lands.

The document argues that Indonesia's critical minerals industry, particularly nickel, is characterized by 'green extractivism' where global decarbonization narratives mask local ecological destruction and human rights abuses. It highlights the role of National Strategic Projects (PSN) in bypassing environmental protections and the heavy dominance of Chinese capital and technology in the supply chain. The report documents severe impacts including fatal workplace accidents, massive deforestation in North Maluku, health crises such as spikes in respiratory infections, and the systemic impoverishment of local communities.

Friends of the Earth International has issued a statement condemning the March 12, 2026, acid attack on Andrie Yunus, deputy coordinator of KontraS, in Jakarta. The organization describes the attack as part of a systemic threat to democracy and human rights in Indonesia, characterized by increasing violence, criminalization, and surveillance of activists. The statement highlights Yunus's role in providing legal assistance to Indigenous Peoples and farmers resisting environmentally destructive projects. It calls on the Indonesian government to conduct a transparent investigation and urges the UN Human Rights Council and Special Rapporteurs to intervene to ensure accountability and protection for defenders of territories and the environment.

The statement calls on the Indonesian government to conduct a transparent investigation and urges the United Nations Human Rights Council and Special Rapporteurs to monitor the situation to ensure accountability and protection for defenders.

The document advocates for a transformative approach to climate adaptation that moves beyond infrastructure to include 'communication justice'. It highlights the role of constructive journalism in combating 'climate fatigue' and the potential of AI to improve disaster prediction and information dissemination. The author criticises global agendas, such as those for COP30, for overlooking the role of independent journalism and public engagement. The statement calls for coordinated collaboration between governments, the private sector, and local communities to close digital divides and ensure that the voices of the most vulnerable are integrated into national development plans.

The report inventories 130 support measures across six energy types in Indonesia: oil and gas, coal, electricity, renewable energy, biofuels, and electric vehicles (EVs). It details various mechanisms including direct financial transfers, tax exemptions, and price regulations. For the period FY 2021 to FY 2024, 27% of these measures were quantified using official government data, while 64% remained unquantified due to data limitations. The annex provides specific legislative references and nominal values in IDR and USD for each measure.

The document details WWF and Delterra's pilot projects in Jayapura and Merauke, Papua, which established that households are the primary source of food waste and that significant portions of discarded food remain edible. It identifies a 'missing middle' financing gap for infrastructure investments (typically $1–3 million) and proposes a three-phased approach—starting with prevention, moving to community-scale recovery, and ending with centralized facilities—to align with the waste hierarchy and reduce methane emissions.

The document examines food waste in Jayapura and Merauke, Indonesia, finding that households are the primary waste generators and that significant portions of discarded food remain edible. It highlights a 'missing middle' financing gap for infrastructure investments (USD 1-3 million) and proposes a three-phase roadmap: starting with prevention and reduction, moving to community-scale recycling (composting and Black Soldier Fly larvae), and finally investing in centralized waste management facilities.

Konde.co, Marjin Kiri, and Trend Asia issued a statement condemning police intimidation during a book discussion in Yogyakarta on December 22, 2025. Police officers visited the site twice, questioning the lack of a 'crowd permit' and monitoring the event until its conclusion. The organizers argue that public discussions are constitutional rights protected by the 1945 Constitution and Law No. 39/1999, and that the event did not meet the criteria for police notification under Law No. 9/1998 or Police Regulation No. 7/2023. The statement links this surveillance to a broader pattern of silencing critical knowledge, specifically regarding the book's focus on women affected by the New Capital City (IKN), National Strategic Projects (PSN), the climate crisis, and corporate extractive expansion.

Indonesia faces significant fiscal strain and energy security risks due to its heavy reliance on imported, subsidized LPG, which is used by 84% of households. The report evaluates three alternatives: induction stoves, dimethyl ether (DME), and city gas. It concludes that induction is the only viable non-fossil option, offering health benefits and long-term fiscal savings if paired with electricity tariff reform and a decarbonized grid. DME and city gas are deemed economically unviable or incompatible with climate goals. The report provides a policy roadmap focusing on making electricity upgrades affordable, implementing means-tested induction subsidies, and reforming LPG subsidies to target only the poorest households.

The document examines the alignment of Indonesia's business sector with the 2035 NDC, highlighting a potential investment opportunity of USD 3.8 trillion. While over 100 Indonesian companies have adopted science-based targets, the report identifies significant barriers including regulatory uncertainty, fragmented institutional responsibility, and a lack of a standardized 'green investment' definition. It proposes solutions such as 'power wheeling' for renewable energy access, blended finance mechanisms, and sectoral decarbonization roadmaps for energy, industry, and transport to ensure the NDC is 'investible' and supports the national goal of net-zero by 2060.

The document reports on a series of protests in Indonesia during August 2025, where tens of thousands of workers and students demanded wage increases, labor law reforms, and an end to mass layoffs. It details severe police brutality, including the death of Affan Kurniawan, mass arrests, and torture. The statement argues that these actions reflect a systemic pattern of repression and calls for the Indonesian government to end police violence, investigate abuses, and ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances (ICPPED).

A joint statement by Indonesia Corruption Watch, Trend Asia, and KontraS condemning the use of tactical vehicles by the Indonesian National Police (Polri) to suppress protests on August 28, 2025, which resulted in the death of Affan Kurniawan. The organizations highlight that Polri spent Rp1.93 trillion on 98 tactical and special vehicles between 2020 and 2024, with significant imports from South Korea's Daeji Precision & Industries Co Ltd totaling US$63.8 million (Rp1.05 trillion) from 2019-2023. The statement criticizes the approved 2026 police budget of Rp173.47 trillion and demands budget cuts and accountability for human rights violations.

The report examines how climate hazards—including sea-level rise, extreme heat, and flooding—threaten Indonesia's military infrastructure, food security, and territorial sovereignty. It highlights the strategic risks of continued coal dependence, such as public health crises and corruption, while positioning the renewable energy transition as a critical national security priority to enhance economic competitiveness and geopolitical stability.

The document examines the challenges of expanding active mobility in Indonesia, highlighting how fragmented infrastructure, safety risks, and weak enforcement hinder the transition from motor vehicles to walking and cycling. Using Medan as a case study, it identifies specific gaps in accessibility for people with disabilities and suggests a multi-faceted approach involving infrastructure upgrades, financial incentives, and public awareness campaigns to reduce urban congestion and air pollution.

The document identifies significant barriers preventing Indonesian local governments from accessing climate finance, including the inability to directly access international funds and a lack of technical expertise in project preparation. It suggests that Indonesia can unlock over USD 3 billion in potential climate finance by strengthening institutional capacity, improving the 'bankability' of projects through comprehensive feasibility studies and ESG standards, and utilizing blended finance and public-private partnerships. The brief highlights specific transport projects in Jakarta, Bandung, Makassar, Medan, and Semarang, noting a heavy reliance on central government funding.

The document outlines strategies for Indonesia to reduce road transport emissions, which currently account for 95% of transport emissions. Using an 'avoid-shift-improve' framework, the assessment finds that a combination of reducing travel demand, shifting to public and active transport, and improving vehicle efficiency through electrification and biofuels could reduce emissions by up to 84% by 2050. These measures would also significantly lower premature deaths caused by air pollution, particularly from PM2.5 and NOx exposure.

The report presents findings from a nationally representative survey of 2,000 Indonesian adults conducted in 2025. While 73% of respondents report knowing little to nothing about climate change, 86% believe it is happening after receiving a definition. There is strong public support for clean energy policies, including a 79% favorability rate for banning new coal plants and an 83% support rate for the government's 2060 net-zero commitment. However, a gap exists between personal concern (88%) and actual engagement, with very few respondents having taken political action to address the issue.

The document details the legal actions taken by a coalition of civil society organizations, including Trend Asia, WALHI, and Greenpeace Indonesia, against the Indonesian government's National Electricity General Plan (RUKN) and the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL). It argues that these plans ignore the escalating climate crisis—exemplified by Cyclone Senyar—and instead lock the country into fossil fuel dependency through the extension of coal-fired power plants (PLTU) and the use of biomass co-firing, which the authors claim drives deforestation. The coalition alleges that these policies violate multiple national laws and international commitments, such as the Paris Agreement, by failing to provide a clear coal phase-out roadmap and ignoring cheaper renewable energy alternatives.
