Jakarta is committed to improving air quality and achieving net zero emissions by 2050, as outlined in Governor Regulation No. 90/2021 and the Air Pollution Control Strategy (SPPU). To support these ambitious targets, the city is developing an Integrated Low Emission Zone (KRE-T), expanding its focus beyond transport to include industry, waste, and other emission sources. As part of the Breathe Cities Program, Jakarta aims for a 30% reduction in air pollution by 2030.

The Resilience Development Initiative (RDI) will contribute to this effort by conducting greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollution modeling, as well as cost-benefit analysis (CBA), to provide data-driven insights for KRE-T implementation.

This initiative aims to:

• Quantify air quality and climate benefits through city-wide and neighborhood-level analyses of GHG emissions and air pollution, assessing their environmental, health, and socio-economic impacts.
• Support policy development by conducting feasibility assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and policy research to provide evidence-based recommendations for Jakarta’s air quality and climate action strategies.

By integrating scientific modeling and economic analysis, this project will help optimize Jakarta’s emission reduction strategies, ensuring a more sustainable and healthier urban environment.
