From Climate Risks to Resilient Energy Systems: Addressing the Implications of Climate Change on Indonesia’s Energy Policy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Climate change has presented significant challenges to Indonesia’s energy sector, increasing vulnerabilities in power generation, infrastructure resilience, and energy security. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and increasing temperatures disrupt energy systems, highlighting the urgent need to build resilient energy systems. To support Indonesia’s energy transition, this study addresses a critical gap by providing an integrated analysis of climate resilience, renewable energy policies, and Indonesia’s socio-economic and environmental goals, emphasizing the importance of enabling policies and financial mechanisms. The recommendations mentioned in this study include increasing renewable energy capacity through solar and geothermal projects, modernizing infrastructure to enhance resilience, and adopting decentralized energy systems to reduce dependency on centralized networks. Strengthened governance and stakeholder collaboration are also essential for the successful implementation of energy policies. This study underscores the importance of having comprehensive energy policies to address climate change, promote sustainable development, and help Indonesia achieve its renewable energy targets and long-term goal of net-zero emissions.
