About Climate Policy Initiative (CPI)

Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) works to improve the most important energy and land use policies around the world, with a particular focus on finance. CPI supports decision makers through in-depth analysis on what works and what does not. CPI works in places that provide the most potential for policy impact, including Brasil, Europe, India, Indonesia, Kenya and the United States. Our work helps nations grow while addressing increasingly scarce resources and climate risk. This is a complex challenge in which policy plays a crucial role. CPI is a small but dynamic organization, with a global reach and an entrepreneurial culture. We work hard to maintain an idea-driven, collaborative environment across all our teams.

CPI’s Climate Finance program guides decision makers who are working to ensure economic growth while addressing increasingly scarce resources and climate risk. Enough capital exists to transition the world into a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. However, current investment in climate-friendly development falls far short of the need. CPI works to redirect finance from high- to low-carbon activities and helps decision makers use their resources wisely. We provide much-needed information on climate finance flows, apply in-depth analysis to guide decision makers on their efforts, and support innovation in finance to address investors’ needs and lower costs.

Project Summary

Indonesia and Vietnam are both still heavily rely on fossil fuel for supporting their economic activities. As the first and the fourth largest economy in ASEAN, energy is essential to support the growing demand. However, both countries have also committed to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE), Indonesia by 2060 and Vietnam by 2050. In order to achieve the NEZ targets, both countries should implement energy transition.

Energy transition require high investment cost for developing renewable energy sources and the supporting systems as well as to retiring existing fossil fuel energy sources. Although there are already some donors that promise to provide funding support, the total funding required to achieve the target is still much more than what the international committee has committed to allocate. Therefore, involvement of private financial institutions, including local financial institutions to support funding energy transition projects are crucial.
