Green jobs in Indonesia are defined as work that contributes to preserving the environment. Indonesia's economic growth has been coupled with rising greenhouse gas emissions. Committing to emission reduction targets will create new green job opportunities across sectors like forestry, energy, and construction by making industries more efficient. For example, developing geothermal energy has created green jobs in energy, construction, and carbon markets. Realizing its emission reduction commitments will guide Indonesia's development strategy and finance new green jobs over the long term.

Green jobsare defined as work in agricultural, manufacturing, research & development, administrative and service activities that contribute substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality.[UNEP]
Green-collar jobs range from low-skill, entry-level positions to high-skills, higher-paid jobs, and include opportunities for advancement in both skills and wages [ACTU]

Projection
2005 GHG emissions: 1,791 MtCO2e
2020 emissions projected to reach 2,950 MtCO2e
LUCF and peat major sources of emission until 2020
Energy-related emissions will be the fastest-growing

Emissions reduction commitment in 2009 devised from LULUCF and energy mix
policies, setting targets of 26% with own resources and additional 15% with
international support, by 2020 against BAU scenario.

Green jobs in Indonesia is one of the side effect of our green development strategy implementation!
Strong commitments create big opportunities and long term permanent green jobs potentials
From emission reduction commitment to green jobs
Indonesia commitment
Our national commitment to reduce the CO2 emission turns our development and finance strategy for long period
