Indonesia’s Vice Minister of Forestry, Rohmat Marzuki, reaffirmed the government’s strong commitment to enhancing integrity and expanding global collaboration in the development of carbon markets.
The statement was delivered during the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets event held at the Singapore Pavilion on the sidelines of the UNFCCC COP30 Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, on Monday (November 10, 2025).
In his address, Vice Minister Rohmat expressed appreciation to the founding countries of the Coalition for their leadership in advancing credibility and transparency within the global carbon trading system.
“We appreciate the Government of Singapore, as Co-Chair of the Coalition, for its efforts in mobilizing private sector financing through a credible carbon market,” Rohmat stated.
The Indonesian government also extended its gratitude to Kenya, the United Kingdom, Singapore, France, and Panama for their roles in establishing this cross-country coalition. According to Rohmat, such initiatives are crucial for accelerating global climate mitigation efforts and supporting sustainable development through strengthened international cooperation.
“Indonesia shares the same commitment to ensuring that both national and global carbon markets are built on principles of high integrity, transparency, and tangible benefits for people and the environment,” he emphasized.
Vice Minister Rohmat explained that the Indonesian government is currently strengthening the national carbon market architecture through the issuance of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 110 of 2025 on Carbon Economic Value (Nilai Ekonomi Karbon / NEK). This regulation serves as the primary legal foundation for developing a strong, inclusive, and globally connected carbon market ecosystem.
“Our strategy is to ensure regulatory clarity, align the national Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system with global best practices, and attract investments that support nature-based mitigation solutions,” Rohmat elaborated.
He added that Indonesia welcomes the spirit of collaboration promoted by the Coalition and fully supports the Shared Principles, which serve as guidelines for both companies and governments in maintaining the highest standards of carbon credit integrity.
“Indonesia stands ready to work hand in hand with all international partners to ensure that carbon markets uphold integrity — not only reducing emissions but also improving community welfare, conserving biodiversity, and strengthening sustainable development,” Rohmat concluded.
