Over the past few weeks I've sat in on several discussions on Indonesia's draft climate law — at the House of Representatives, and at Kehati Foundation. This bill matters: it's set to become the legal umbrella for climate policy here, and this decade's governance decisions will shape the biosphere for millennia.

Indonesia's carbon market just hit a milestone: the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK) is finally live under Perpres 110/2025 and OJK's new rules. But as I learned last week at the MPR, representing ACEXI in an audience with Pak Eddy Soeparno, infrastructure is only the start.
