Indonesia holds a critical role in driving ASEAN’s green job transformation through its abundant natural resources and young workforce to meet the rising demand for sustainability-focused employment. Indonesia can align its workforce with the 12.3% annual global growth in green roles by addressing the skills gap (currently, only 1.8 million workers are targeted for green jobs by 2030), integrating sustainability knowledge into technical curricula, and fostering public-private partnerships. Policy interventions and independent initiatives can further support this transition to contribute to Indonesia’s national roadmap, which projects an average GDP growth of 6.1 to 6.5% annually by 2050, with green jobs reducing emissions by 68% by 2045 and achieving Net Zero by 2060.
