ANTARA reports that Indonesia has invited Sweden to join a carbon economy partnership aimed at cutting global greenhouse gas emissions, Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq said during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil. The proposal was discussed in a bilateral meeting with Diana Janse, Sweden’s State Secretary for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, who welcomed the initiative.
Following the talks, Indonesia and Sweden plan to explore a memorandum of understanding on joint climate action to attract Swedish businesses and their networks to participate in developing Indonesia’s carbon economy. Janse said bilateral relations are strengthening and praised Indonesia’s waste management ambitions, reaffirming Sweden’s support for shared climate efforts.
Indonesia is targeting transactions worth around Rp16 trillion (about 956 million$) from high-quality carbon trading across sectors during COP30. The government views carbon trading as a key tool for economic growth and emission reduction under Presidential Regulation No. 110 of 2025 on the implementation of carbon economic value instruments and national greenhouse gas emission control.
