World Order Lab Participates in the Indonesia Net-Zero Summit 2026
World Order Lab's Indonesia-based members participated in the Indonesia Net-Zero Summit held in Jakarta on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Organized by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) under its Climate Unit, the summit brought together government officials, policymakers, business leaders, academics, youth, and civil society to discuss Indonesia’s pathway toward net-zero and climate resilience under the theme “It’s Time to Deliver!”
The event featured discussions on energy security, Indonesia’s 100 GW solar ambition, nature-based solutions, climate finance, green value chains, ASEAN’s energy and climate security, just transition, urban climate resilience, clean electrification, green jobs, and community-led conservation.
What are participating World Order Lab members' key takeaways and observations from the summit?
"FPCI is always at the forefront when it comes to delivering standout events that bring together academics, professionals, policymakers, artists, musicians, young people, and now even children under one roof. The Indonesia Net Zero Summit 2026 offered a fresh perspective on how governments and citizens should work hand in hand to accelerate the transition towards clean energy by 2030. Personally, the key take away is that, achieving net zero is a collective responsibility that requires participation from every level of society." --- Muhammad Izzuddin Al Haq, Executive Director & Chair of Maritime Security Working Group
"Discussions at the Indonesia Net Zero Summit, especially for ASEAN Energy Security, highlighted that energy security and climate action should no longer be treated as separate agendas. ASEAN's vast renewable energy potential can only be translated into meaningful progress through stronger regional cooperation, greater investment in grid modernization and energy storage, clearer regulatory frameworks, and the accelerated development of the ASEAN Power Grid." --- Muhamad Ferdy Firmansyah, Analyst (Southeast Asia Desk) & Chair of Climate Action Working Group
"Climate Change has been a very serious issue for the world over the last few decades. This issue is a blind spot as what Dr. Dino Patti Djalal said at the opening remarks of FPCI Net Zero Summit 2026. It is at this event, FPCI invited experts, academicians, and diplomats from various institutions to share their perspectives on the approaches and prospects, while also calling upon all parties to collaborate and begin taking action in addressing this issue. As a key takeaway, the climate crisis cannot be solved by individuals alone but through cooperations while enhancing capacity and capabilities in order to achieve the targets that have been set." --- Alfath Aziz Kurnia, Senior Program Associate (Communications)
"A meaningful reminder from the Indonesia Net-Zero Summit 2026 is that climate action, energy security, and water security are inseparable pillars of sustainable development. Ambassador Retno Marsudi’s remarks underscored that water is not merely a natural resource, but a strategic foundation for human security and dignity — making the urgency to ensure universal access to safe water as critical as accelerating the transition toward clean and renewable energy." --- M. Zaenul Adrian, Analyst (Southeast Asia Desk)
World Order Lab extends its sincere appreciation to the organizers, speakers, and participants for convening this timely platform and advancing meaningful dialogue on Indonesia’s climate agenda, energy transition, and the need to translate ambition into concrete action.
