**Program Overview**:
- The Energy and Sustainable Business (ESB) program works to advance decarbonization among businesses, accelerating a just transition towards net zero emission in Indonesia while balancing the need for economic development. Supporting Indonesia's pledge on Net Zero Emission, we are seeking to advance private sectors contribution towards net zero, at any scale of business. With our partners in KADIN Net Zero Hub, PLN, and key ministires, we instill the decarbonization journey framework through trainings and technical assistance with companies, including facilitating the development and implementation of decarbonization strategy for companies. This long-term effort requires both policy and technical knowledge, combined with WRI's convening power, to ultimately move the key stakeholders to take actions and achieve the intended emission reduction.
As the co-founder of Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi) and Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), we utilize these framework and tool that facilitate ambitious companies for near to long-term climate targeting driven by research, as to reach net zero emission (NZE) commitments toward limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 C, within and beyond the companies' value chain. SBTi provides global net zero standard that is implemented by WRI, among its partners, as think tank that provides best available guidance and quality assurance for net zero journey by businesses. By adapting the tools to the national context, WRI Indonesia aims to increase Indonesia industries's competitiveness through strengthened standards and climate mitigation/adapation measures which ultimately significantly contribute to Indonesia emissions reduction.
WRI Indonesia believe that sustainable development highlights the need for integrated approaches to finding solutions that are aligned with the challenge of achieving economic, social and environmental goals that are often interlinked. This can be daunting task, as the interlinkages are complex and context specific and depend, inter alia, on the issues under consideration, the geographic and temporal scales, sector of the industry, and the existing technologies. Therefore, the energy and sustainable business program aims to work across disciplines with the cities team, climate team, forest and lan use team to combine decarbonization framework, quantitative models, low carbon technology solutions, and other policy-making decision tools to support and achieve key national commitments, such as Indonesia net zero ambition.
