Indonesia and South Korea Strengthen Sustainable Transport Partnership
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - The Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas), the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), and the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea have reaffirmed their commitment to developing sustainable transportation through the Bali E-Mobility Project.
As part of Indonesia’s Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Nasional (RPJPN) 2025–2045, electric vehicles are seen as a key strategy in the country’s energy transition.
“One of the strategies to achieve a green economy is transitioning to sustainable transportation that adopts electric vehicles. This transition plays a key role in the broader shift from fossil fuels to clean energy,” said Bappenas Deputy Minister Febrian Alphyanto Ruddyard as quoted on Antara.
The initiative is funded by the Government of Korea and implemented by GGGI with Bappenas as the executing agency. The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources act as implementing agencies, with Bali’s provincial government as the main beneficiary.
“I hope today’s meeting marks a turning point for Indonesia and Korea in strengthening cooperation toward a greener and more sustainable planet for future generations,” said Korea’s Deputy Minister of Environment, Lee Byounghwa, as quoted on Antara.
Rowan Fraser, GGGI’s Country Representative in Indonesia, added, as quoted on Antara, “We aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in Bali and showcase the feasibility of electric buses for public transport. We believe Bali can become a model for a nationally scalable and bankable e-mobility transition.”
The Bali E-Mobility Project also supports Bali’s goal of reducing 41,516 tons of carbon emissions by 2026.
“We hope to learn from the Republic of Korea about best practices for switching to electric vehicles,” Febrian concluded as quoted on Antara.
