Indonesia’s ambitious steps under Presidential Regulation No. 112/2022 remain insufficient to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C. A critical loophole lies in Article 3, Paragraph 4b, which still allows the construction of new coal-fired power plants for industrial use, even though industrial/captive coal capacity already accounts for nearly 30% of all operating coal-fired power plants.
Revising this regulation is urgent to protect the environment and public safety. Without decisive action, this policy loophole risks undermining Indonesia’s climate commitments and prolonging social and environmental harm, making stronger, forward-looking governance necessary.
