JAKARTA -- Indonesia will need $200 billion per annum in the next decade and over $1 trillion annually in the next four decades to achieve its target of net zero carbon emissions by 2060, a recent government study showed, highlighting the need for massive financing in a country heavily reliant on coal.
The 108-page report was issued by Bappenas, a ministry responsible for national development planning, in light of carbon dioxide reduction development "tak[ing] a backseat following economic and social challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic" despite it being a pillar of the country's mid-term national development plan, the report said.
