Timeline
The item reports that OJK issued a new rule governing carbon trading through Indonesia’s carbon exchange. The provided metadata does not state the regulation number.
The Ministry of Forestry announced the launch of the Indonesia Forestry Carbon Hub as government carbon-market infrastructure for forestry-sector carbon trading. The metadata does not identify a formal regulation, decree, or document number.
The item reports that OJK revised the regulatory framework for Indonesia’s carbon exchange, with market liquidity identified as the policy objective. No document number is provided in the supplied metadata.
OJK reportedly amended its carbon exchange framework with the stated aim of increasing trading liquidity. The item indicates a regulatory change affecting Indonesia’s organized carbon market, but does not state a document number.
Indonesia was reported to be developing the legal framework needed to accelerate a blue-carbon pricing programme. The development is relevant to carbon-market regulation because it concerns rules for valuing and potentially monetising blue-carbon assets.
Implementing regulation for Perpres 110/2025 in the forestry sector. Establishes the procedures for carbon-credit generation, trading, and offset approvals from REDD+, peatland, mangrove, and afforestation projects. Signed by Menteri Kehutanan on 6 April 2026; promulgated 13 April 2026.
Indonesia was reported to have allowed international carbon trading to resume after a multi-year pause. This is a material carbon-market policy change affecting the ability to use Indonesian carbon units in cross-border transactions.
Overhauls the national carbon-economy framework, replacing Perpres 98/2021. Consolidates governance of carbon pricing, emissions trading, and MRV under a single Presidential regulation. Enables international carbon credit trade under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and sets the conditions for Indonesian credits to be sold to foreign buyers with proper authorisation. The most significant policy shift for the Indonesian carbon market since Perpres 98/2021.
Indonesia and Verra were reported to have signed a carbon-trading agreement. The item qualifies as a registry-policy development because it concerns recognition and use of carbon units between Indonesia’s system and an international carbon standard.
OJK announced the inauguration of overseas carbon trading, marking an official opening of Indonesia’s carbon market access for foreign transactions. The item is regulatory in nature because it concerns implementation of the supervised carbon-exchange framework rather than ordinary trading activity.

IDXCarbon, the Indonesia Carbon Exchange operated by the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), opened for trading on 26 September 2023 — one of the first regulated carbon exchanges in Southeast Asia. Initial trading was restricted to domestic participants transacting Verra-issued VCUs from Indonesian forestry projects.
Issued by OJK (Financial Services Authority), this regulation provided the legal and operational framework for carbon trading through a regulated exchange. It designated the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) as the carbon exchange operator and set listing, trading, and transparency requirements.
The cornerstone enabling regulation for Indonesia's carbon economy. Established the National Carbon Value (NEK) framework, mandated the SRN-PPI national registry, created the legal basis for voluntary and compliance carbon markets, and set the trajectory for a domestic carbon tax.
Ratified Indonesia's first NDC under the Paris Agreement, committing to a 29% unconditional and 41% conditional reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 relative to the business-as-usual baseline. Gave legal force to the national climate pledge.
Established the Dewan Nasional Perubahan Iklim (DNPI), Indonesia's first formal national body for coordinating climate-change policy and reporting. Set the institutional foundation for all subsequent carbon-market regulation.
