Energy transition will be a topic of discussion during the Sherpas’s meeting of the G20, which will be the first activity to be held during Indonesia’s G20 Presidency.
There will be 11 working groups and 1 initiative under the Sherpa Track, with the first Sherpas’ meeting scheduled for December 7–8, 2021, Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi informed in Jakarta on November 26, 2021.
A green energy transition is crucial for many developing countries, including Indonesia, which has voiced its commitment to helping achieve the target of the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The country has pledged to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in 2030 by cutting gas emissions by 29 percent under a business-as-usual scenario or 41 percent with international support.
In fact, Indonesia has created a roadmap for its energy transition to achieve the target of net-zero emissions by 2060, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Arifin Tasrif said recently.
