Program Overview
World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent national research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. The Energy and Sustainable Business (ESB) program works to advance decarbonization among corporates, accelerating a just transition towards net zero emission in Indonesia, while balancing the need for economic development. In achieving that, WRI introduces two of its flagship products which are: Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) for emission accounting and Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for ambitious and science-aligned emission reduction target setting, within and beyond its value chain. By adapting the tools to the national context, WRI Indonesia guides corporates towards their complete net zero journey, aiming to increase Indonesia corporates’ competitiveness through strengthened standards and climate mitigation/adaptation measures which ultimately significantly contribute to Indonesia’s emission reduction.
WRI Indonesia believe that sustainable development highlights the need for integrated approaches to finding solutions that are aligned with the challenge of achieving economic, social, and environmental goals that are often interlinked. This can be a daunting task, as the interlinkages are complex and context specific and depend on the issues under consideration, the geographic and temporal scales, sector of the industry, and the existing technologies. Therefore, the ESB program aims to work across disciplines with the cities team, climate team, forest and land use team to combine decarbonization framework, quantitative models, low carbon technology solutions, and other policy-making decision tools to support and achieve key national commitments, such as Indonesia net zero ambition.
